Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your kitchen magic! Cover each of the three large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat 3 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat. Add 2 to 3 popcorn kernels to check if the oil is ready.
  3. Pop the Corn: Once your test kernels pop, add ½ cup of popcorn kernels to the pot, cover with lid, and shake occasionally until popping slows.
  4. Remove from Heat: When popping slows, remove from heat, sprinkle popcorn salt to taste, and divide into bowls.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: In three microwave-safe bowls, combine 2 cups of white chocolate and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil for each. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stirring until melted.
  6. Color the Chocolate: Add 2 to 3 drops of orange food coloring to the first bowl and stir until combined.
  7. Coat the Popcorn: Pour orange chocolate over popcorn in one bowl, toss gently, and spread on one baking sheet. Sprinkle one-third of the mix-ins on top.
  8. Repeat for Other Colors: Repeat for the remaining bowls with green and purple chocolate, ensuring to use separate baking sheets.
  9. Let Dry: Allow your popcorn to dry for about 5 minutes.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Break popcorn into pieces and serve in a large bowl, mini cauldrons, or Halloween-themed treat bags.
