Hump Day Treat: Halloween Themed

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:

1. Put the package of M&M’s in the freezer for 15 minutes so they can be firm before using.
2. 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.
3. Fill a large mixing bowl with the popcorn. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and mix around with a spatula gently!
4.  Add the M&M’s and continue to mix gently with a spatula
5. 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.
6. 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)
7. Place the popcorn balls into the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to set.
8. Melt dark chocolate. Once cool spoon into a small ziplock plastic bag.
9. Melt White chocolate. Stir in food color evenly. Once cool spoon into a small ziplock plastic bag.
10. Remove popcorn balls from refrigerator
11. Snip the corner of the dark chocolate bag to create a spout and drizzle evenly over the popcorn balls. Repeat with the white chocolate.
12. Return to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set chocolate
13. Then place in cupcake tins if you wish and on a serving tray and ENJOY!
