Notes

  • Active vs. Passive Time: This is a 10-minute recipe, all active. No baking, chilling, or prep beyond gathering ingredients.
  • Popcorn Tip: Use air-popped or lightly salted popcorn. Avoid heavily buttered varieties so the mix doesn’t get greasy.
  • Portioning Idea: Scoop into Halloween-themed cups or bags for a grab-and-go party treat.
