Halloween is my verrrrrrry favorite holiday!!!  I love the decorations, the costumes, and the food! Today I want to share a treat that whipped up for our little Halloween Party.  I call it Candy Corn Popcorn – but really it is a twist on our Marshmallow Popcorn Recipe.  Find the recipe HERE, or check out the Halloween version below.

Candy Corn, Love It Or Hate It

In all reality, I hate candy corn.  There are candy corn lovers, and there are candy corn haters.  I fall into that hate category.  Like I mentioned, this is a twist on our marshmallow popcorn, but if you want to throw in a few candy corn while mixing this up, feel free.  I will, however, refrain.

I just split the melted marshmallow mixture into thirds, leave one as is, add a few drops of yellow to the next, and a few drops of orange to the last. Mix them with your popcorn, also separated into thirds, and then layer them in a glass bowl to mimic the colors of a candy corn.  Such an easy fun treat!  Pair this with some Caramel Apples and some Candy Corn Fruit Pizza and you will have a party.
