Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by popping your popcorn according to the package instructions or using an air popper for a healthier option. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a separate bowl, pour in 6 cups of Chex cereal, breaking apart any clumps.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the Chex cereal and gently fold until well-coated.
  5. Transfer the coated cereal to a resealable bag, add 1-2 cups of powdered sugar, seal tightly, and shake vigorously.
  6. In the large bowl, gently combine the powdered sugar-coated Chex cereal with the popped popcorn.
  7. Melt 1 cup of white chocolate chips or almond bark and drizzle over the mixture.
  8. Immediately sprinkle with eye sprinkles and candy-coated chocolates while the mixture is still warm.
  9. Spread the finished mix onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let it cool for at least 15-20 minutes.
  10. Transfer your Halloween Muddy Buddies Popcorn Mix to bowls for serving.
