Ingredients
  • 8 cups popped popcorn
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 (3-ounce) package orange gelatin mix (such as Jell-O)
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips or white candy melts
  • ⅓ cup Halloween sprinkles
  • 1 cup candy corn
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 300 F.
  2. Place the popcorn in a large bowl.
  3. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  4. Place the butter, corn syrup, sugar, and gelatin mix in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Remove from the heat and immediately pour over the popcorn. Quickly stir the popcorn to coat it with the sugar mixture.
  7. Transfer the popcorn to the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes then remove from the oven to cool.
  8. While the popcorn is cooling, place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted.
  9. Transfer the melted white chocolate to a resealable sandwich bag. Cut the tip off one corner of the bag to create a makeshift pastry bag.
  10. Drizzle the white chocolate over the popcorn, then immediately sprinkle the sprinkles over the top.
  11. Let cool completely, then stir in the candy corn.
  12. Break up the popcorn gently with your hands if needed, and serve.
