Ingredients
Scale
- 8 cups popped popcorn (plain, lightly salted)
- 1 cup pumpkin-shaped candy corn or autumn mix
- 1 cup pretzel twists or mini pretzels
- ½ cup roasted and salted pumpkin seeds or pepitas
- ½ cup white chocolate melting wafers or almond bark
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon orange and black sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Pop the popcorn to yield 8 cups. Spread on a baking sheet and remove any unpopped kernels.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the popcorn, candy corn, pretzels, and pumpkin seeds. Toss gently.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth (about 1–1.5 minutes).
- Stir the pumpkin pie spice into the melted white chocolate until fully incorporated.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate mixture over the popcorn mixture. Gently toss with a spatula or your hands to coat in thin ribbons.
- Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. If using, sprinkle with orange and black sprinkles while chocolate is wet.
- Let sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate is set and no longer sticky.
- Break into clusters with your hands and serve.
Notes
Use freshly popped popcorn for best texture. Avoid overmixing to prevent popcorn from breaking. For a vegan version, use dairy-free white chocolate and check candy corn ingredients. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
