Why I Love This Popcorn Recipe

I will always choose to eat popcorn. If I have nothing made for dinner, I make popcorn. If I need a snack, you guessed it! I make popcorn.

This fall snack mix is more of a once-in-a-while snack. It’s fancy popcorn that’s perfect for a movie night or to bag up as gifts for friends. Peanuts and candy corn are added to this mix for more of a fall treat, but you can easily swap in your favorite candy. Or leave the nuts out entirely to make this customized for you.

Be warned that the peanut butter and white chocolate poured over the top are addictive. Not that popcorn needs the help, but you’ll love it!

    This snack mix was delicious. 8 quarts of popcorn was perfect. Felt I could have even used more. The only issue was it never hardened. It remained sticky, soft and gooey. That did not spoil the deliciousness, but definitely needed to wash hands after eating.
