    ⭐Why Fall Popcorn Is Awesome

    • This Fall popcorn is a great treat for a crisp Fall day.
    • Tastes just as good as any gourmet popcorn you'd find in a store.
    • Making this fall popcorn snack mix is a fun activity for parents to do with their kids.


    🥣Ingredient Notes

    • Popcorn - I used popped since I didn't want the popcorn to have butter on it.
    • Orange candy melts - Adds some seasonal color and sweetness.
    • Candy corn - A traditional fall candy.
    • Fall themed M&Ms - in fall colors/flavors. These are available seasonally. If they don't have them, regular M&Ms will do.
    • Fall Sprinkles - Adds color and crunch to the popcorn mixture.

    👩🏻‍🍳Expert Tips

    Tip 1: If you are looking for more things to add to the fall popcorn, you can add white chocolate chips, mini-marshmallows, and a dash of pumpkin pie spice.

    Tip 2: Remove any unpopped kernels before adding the other ingredients.


    🤷🏻‍♀️Recipe FAQs

    How long do the candy melts take to harden?

    Ours took about an hour to fully harden.

    How do we store this fall popcorn mix?

    This is best enjoyed within a few days of making it as the candy melts can soften the popcorn over time. You can store the popcorn in an airtight container.
