Monster Munch, Halloween Popcorn Bark, CRACK! Call it whatever you want - this stuff is crazy good!!!  This is sweet & salty to the max!  Needless to say, everyone loved this stuff.  I had to share this with co-workers and family so I didn't eat it all by myself.  Make sure you add this to your Halloween party or treats this weekend!  It makes a ton - so give some away (if you can tear yourself away from it) and make some new friends!

    I can almost taste this - what a fun mix! I always loved popcorn balls when I was a kid and still love sweet salty popcorn mixes. And it's purdy!

    I had something similar a couple of weeks ago ... everything was the same but instead of popcorn, the woman used pretzel-peanut butter squares. It was delicious! And so seasonal looking. We love popcorn at our house, so I'm going to try your version. :)

    Could you use candy melts in place of almond bark? Having a hard time finding almond bark.

    How long do you usually have to let it sit before it is ready to break apart?

    Do you know how much this will make. I seen the popcorn was 16-20 cups. I thought about making it for my sons classroom party and putting them in little cups. I was wondering if I should double the recipe? Do kids seem to like the almod flavor? I a hoping it would be a good treat to share with 5th graders.

    Amy - this makes about 20 cups total. It doesn't have an almond flavor. Almond bark is a type of candy coating. I use vanilla flavored almond bark (I find it near the chocolate chips).

    Anyone know if this will stay good over night to be served the next day? Not sure if popcorn will go stale?
    Thanks!
