CREEPY CRUNCH

I love making this recipe and changing it up a little as seasons change. It's super easy and it's done within a matter of moments. All it requires is popcorn, white chocolate, and your favorite candies. Some candies I use for Halloween are peanut butter M&M's(really any kind of M&M's) Reese's Pieces, peanuts, candy corn, etc. Then for Christmas and Valentines day I will add small, red gummy candies.
This is another great treat to give to your friends or neighbors, especially for BOOING your neighbors(when you leave a yummy treat and a paper ghost on your neighbors doorstep and run).

INGREDIENTS:
bag of microwave popcorn(popped)
small package Reese's Pieces
1/2 cup peanuts
1 pkg white chocolate chips or 12 oz white almond bark

DIRECTIONS:
Melt white chocolate in sauce pan on low to medium heat. Make sure you constantly stir it while it is melting so that it doesn't burn. In a large bowl, combine popped popcorn, candy, and peanuts(Note: some candies may melt when the hot, melted chocolate is added. You may want to add the candy after you have stirred everything else together and the chocolate has had a moment to cool slightly). After white chocolate is completely melted, pour over popcorn mixture and stir until completely coated. Spread it out on a piece of wax paper and let cool completely. I put my wax paper on a cookie sheet so that I can put it in the fridge to let it cool faster. Once it is completely dry, break it up into pieces and it's ready to eat!
Put it in a cute cellophane bag or a fun and festive bowl. You can even add your friends favorite 2 liter of pop with a cute, little saying such as, I think you're "SODA" great. Leave it on their doorstep and RUN!
