Hocus Pocus Inspired Candy Corn

One of my favorite Halloween traditions is to pop in Disney’s Hocus Pocus and watch the Sanderson Sisters run amok trying to live forever. This Hocus Pocus Inspired Candy Corn kicks my movie-watching experience up a notch!

Winnifred: Sisters, All Hallow’s Eve has become a night of frolic, where children wear costumes and run amok! Sarah: Amok, amok, amok, amok, amok. 

Hocus Pocus Candy Corn

For this recipe, I prefer air-popped popcorn. I like the blank canvas for the flavors. Pop your popcorn and set it to the side.

It is easiest to do one color at a time rather than preparing all the colors at once.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add your butter first and melt. Stir in sugar, corn syrup, food coloring, and salt in the saucepan. Bring to a boil while stirring. This is something you have to do without distractions as the boil stage can happen at any time.

Once at a boil allow to cook without stirring for two minutes.  Set a timer, I like using my phone for this.
Add your candy flavoring and stir to combine. Remove from heat and set to the side.
Add your popcorn to a sealable bowl, about 4 cups of popped popcorn for each color. Pour your candy coating on the popcorn.

Seal with the lid and shake the bowl to evenly coat, this is a step you should involve your kids in.

Pour your popcorn on a baking sheet that you have covered with parchment paper.
Let cool for about 5 minutes.
Repeat the steps for each color.
Add all the colors together in a big bowl and toss to combine.
ENJOY!!
