Neat snack. I do love that sweet/salty mix...not to mention anything with candy corn. ;)
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI know I would luv this cause I like everything you put in it!
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious and I'm not a fan of popcorn!
ReplyDeleteTHE.BEST.TREAT.EVER! I have been dreaming of it! It is SOOOO addicting and delicious! (And easy!)
ReplyDeleteI 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. :)
ReplyDeleteThis stuff is seriously addictive. :)
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, I love to make this stuff! I think it is the cause of the lbs. I gained during October....
ReplyDeleteThat is just twisted good, Steph, I like it.
ReplyDeleteI like your Monster Munch!
ReplyDeleteWe call it movie munch. One of the twins' friends loved it so much he asked me for the recipe and has been making it at home for himself!! :)
ReplyDelete~ingrid
how long will this keep?? I'm thinking about making a version of this to give away as a christmas present, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI assume it will keep a few weeks - its never lasted more than a few days at our house though!
ReplyDeleteCould you use candy melts in place of almond bark? Having a hard time finding almond bark.
ReplyDeleteJacquelyn - yes, You can substitute Candy melts
ReplyDeleteDo you know how many calories are in a cup of this? My mom makes it and it's soo addicting!
ReplyDeleteHow long do you usually have to let it sit before it is ready to break apart?
ReplyDeleteemgill - it sets in 5-10 minutes.
ReplyDeletetawnylee - I have no idea how many calories this has. I am sure it is too many! :)
ReplyDeleteDo 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.
ReplyDeleteAmy - 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).
ReplyDeleteAnyone know if this will stay good over night to be served the next day? Not sure if popcorn will go stale?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Holly - it will keep for several days in an air-tight container
