I’m obviously obsessed with cake decorating, but even I have days when all that mixing, baking and frosting feels like a lot. Luckily, I found a very easy way to showcase our Halloween Fancy Sprinkles without having to open the oven: candy corn popcorn.
The formula is pretty simple: pop some salted popcorn, melt some chocolate, and mix it together in a big bowl with a handful of candy corn , plus a healthy shake of the Fancy Sprinkles Falloween Sprinkle Blend. You can play around with the type and color of chocolate, candy, and sprinkle blend you use, too. I’ve included some of our favorite variations under the instructions.

INGREDIENTS
-6 cups popcorn (make from scratch or use microwaved popcorn – salted or buttered works best for sweet/salty contrast.)
-1 cup white chocolate chips
-1 Tbsp. coconut oil
-Candy corn (as much or little as you want to use)
–Falloween Sprinkle Blend (as much or as little as you want to use)
INSTRUCTIONS
Add popcorn to a large mixing bowl.
In the microwave or double boiler, melt white chocolate chips with coconut oil over low heat, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Once chocolate is melted, use a wooden spoon to drizzle chocolate over the popcorn. While chocolate is soft, add half of the candy corn and sprinkles. Allow the chocolate to harden, then gently turn popcorn and repeat with another drizzle of chocolate, followed by the remaining candy corn and sprinkles. You may need to reheat the chocolate if it hardens between decorating rounds.
