Ingredients
- 1 bag popcorn (about 10 cups, lightly buttered)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini pretzel twists (broken into pieces)
- 1/2 cup candy corn
- 1/2 cup candy pumpkins
- 1/2 cup Reese’s Pieces
- 1/4 cup candy eyeballs
Instructions
- Prepare the popcorn: Place the popped popcorn into a large bowl and set aside.
- Create the syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, butter, honey, water, vanilla extract, and salt. Cook over medium heat.
- Boil the mixture: Stir constantly until it comes to a boil and allow it to boil for about 2-3 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the syrup thickens slightly.
- Combine with popcorn: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Carefully pour the hot syrup over the popcorn and mix gently.
- Add the mix-ins: Fold in mini pretzels, candy corn, candy pumpkins, Reese’s Pieces, and candy eyeballs until well combined.
- Cool the mixture: Spread popcorn on a lined baking sheet and let it cool for about 15 minutes before transferring to a serving bowl.
Notes
Ensure to watch the syrup while it boils to avoid burning, and allow the mixture to cool properly for crunchiness.
