This easy Halloween snack mix with popcorn is perfect for any Halloween events you have planned. This salty snack mix is also great for snacking in October. You'll be the favorite guest if you bring this to a Halloween party! Everyone will love it!

My Halloween snack mix recipe with popcorn recipe was inspired by some other fall treats I've made including my gluten-free pumpkin bread with chocolate chips and my gluten-free apple galette recipe.

halloween-snack-mix-with-popcorn-ingredients
  • Hershey's Kisses: I use a Halloween version of Hershey's Kisses so that the foil wrapping is perfect for the occasion. 
  • M&M's: Use Halloween M&M's for a nice twist.
  • Popcorn: I use plain salted popcorn without butter. 
  • Ground Cinnamon

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

adding-m&ms

Pour the popcorn, m&m's, and Hershey's kisses into a large bowl. Mix using your hands or a spoon.

Store in an airtight container for up to five days.

Hint: You can also mix up the snack mix in a large ziplock bag. This makes it easier to get everything really mixed. It can also be helpful to spread the popcorn mix out on a baking sheet after mixing.

Substitutions

  • Popcorn - instead of plain popcorn, use cheese popcorn. Or, use kettle corn.
  • M&M's - use chocolate chips instead of M&M's. Try using white chocolate chips.

Variations

  • Spicy - add chili pepper flakes to the popcorn to make this mix sweet, salty, and spicy.
  • Cinnamon sugar - add ¼ cup cinnamon sugar to the popcorn mixture for a sweet twist on this Halloween treat. You can also use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. Brown sugar won't spread as evenly.
  • Candy corn - add ½ cup candy corn to the popcorn mixture.
  • Peanut butter - add 1 tablespoon PB2 to the mix for a peanut butter-flavored Halloween popcorn snack.
  • Candy pumpkins - add ½ cup of candy pumpkins to the mix.
  • Mini marshmallows - add ¼ cup of mini marshmallows to the popcorn mixture.

Equipment

Storage

Store the popcorn snack mix in an airtight container for up to five days.

You can also divide the popcorn snack mix up into four-ounce bags to make treat bags.

Top tip

Make sure to mix gently so you don't squish the popcorn!
