Notes
Note 1: For convenience, use pre-popped popcorn—it’s pricier but easy. If you prefer homemade, I recommend lightly salted plain popcorn packets or popping kernels yourself (using a popcorn machine or stovetop). You’ll need 8 cups. If using unsalted popcorn, add a pinch of salt for flavor balance.
Note 2: If you can’t find Halloween editions, use classic Oreos and regular M&M’s. Select colors like orange and green or orange and yellow to keep the Halloween vibe.
Note 3: To remove un-popped kernels, place popcorn in a large bowl, cover with a cooling rack, flip it over, and shake. The un-popped kernels will fall out, leaving just the popped pieces. Continue with the recipe using this popcorn.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature. Best enjoyed within 1–2 days.
