Preparation

  2. In a large bowl, combine your freshly popped popcorn, pretzels, candy corn, nuts, and pumpkin seeds. Make sure everything is evenly distributed.
  3. Drizzle warm caramel or melted chocolate over the mix, stirring gently to coat.

Notes

Ensure not to skip the cooling step to avoid a sticky texture. Stir gently to maintain the popcorn's airy texture. Serve in fun Halloween-themed bowls or bags paired with beverages like apple cider or hot chocolate.
