Making Popcorn Halloween Treats
I love making our own popcorn as do the kids. We buy the kernels ready to make and then use butter to pop them in a pan. They will make them ahead of a family movie night and it’s the only food we allow to be eaten in front of the TV in our house.
Check out our Best Halloween Shows and Movies on Netflix this year to watch with Kids as you enjoy these treats.
For this recipe, you will need 8 cups of popped popcorn. If you are making from scratch that’s approximately 4 tablespoons of kernels. You could always make a little more and snack on the rest.
