Happy almost Halloween everyone! In honor of the upcoming holiday I thought what better way to honor today’s hump day treat recipe then have it be halloween themed. One of my favorite things about halloween is obviously the candy, but as a kid I always was searching for the house with the best stash. I am sucker for anything that has M&M’s in it because they are honestly one of my favorite candy. Here is a a really cute and easy recipe complements to Tasty from Buzzfeed that incorporates M&M’s.
Ingredients:
½ cup of butter
4 cups of marshmallows
8 cups popcorn popped ( regular no flavor)
1 package of M&M’s chocolate the harvest blend (you can honestly do any flavor you want)
1 cup white chocolate
1 cup dark chocolate
1 teaspoon orange food coloring
Directions:
- Put the package of M&M’s in the freezer for 15 minutes so they can be firm before using.
- Melt butter over medium heat. After the butter is melted add the marshmallows. Stir constantly until all of the marshmallows are melted. After remove from heat.
- Fill a large mixing bowl with the popcorn. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and mix around with a spatula gently!
- Add the M&M’s and continue to mix gently with a spatula
- Take a cookie sheet and grease it or you could also use parchment paper and grease that over a cookie sheet if you’d like.
- Apply a thin layer of cooking spray or oil to your hands and grab a handful of the popcorn mixture. Gently form into a ball and place on the cookie sheet. (Repeat this step until all the mixture is gone)
- Place the popcorn balls into the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to set.
- Melt dark chocolate. Once cool spoon into a small ziplock plastic bag.
- Melt White chocolate. Stir in food color evenly. Once cool spoon into a small ziplock plastic bag.
- Remove popcorn balls from refrigerator
- Snip the corner of the dark chocolate bag to create a spout and drizzle evenly over the popcorn balls. Repeat with the white chocolate.
- Return to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set chocolate
- Then place in cupcake tins if you wish and on a serving tray and ENJOY!
