How to make the best Halloween Monster Munch Popcorn Mix:

Add the popcorn and pretzels into a large mixing bowl and mix to combine, then set aside.
In a microwave safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in-between, until melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate into the bowl of popcorn and pretzels, then stir to coat everything evenly.
Transfer the mix onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, then evenly scatter on the candy corn and m&m’s.
In separate bowls to separate the colors, melt the candy coating according to package directions, and drizzle the melted candy melts over the snack mix.
Immediately sprinkle with sprinkles and candy eyes, then let the chocolate coating set completely before breaking into pieces and serving!

Monster Munch isn’t just a recipe — it’s a Halloween tradition! The colors, the flavors, and the playful name make it a must-have for every Halloween celebration. It’s portable, easy to store, and perfect for everything from trick-or-treat night to spooky movie marathons.

Plus, it’s totally customizable! Want a healthier version? Use air-popped popcorn and dark chocolate. Want it extra festive? Add candy eyeballs and sprinkles like I did! The possibilities are endless.

My top tips:

POPCORN: Feel free to pop your own popcorn, use the microwave bags, or buy pre-popped popcorn from the store. Just be sure to remove any unpopped kernels in advance. If you like sweet and salty, go for the movie theater butter microwave bag! You’ll need about 10 cups total.
PRETZELS: I like using pretzel twists for this recipe, but pretzel snaps, waffle pretzels, or even pretzel sticks all work great too.
MELTING CHOCOLATE: I recommend microwaving the chocolate in 30 second intervals to prevent any burning. White chocolate can be especially temperamental and prone to clumping, so it’s important to melt it down slowly.
VEGETABLE OIL: Adding a little vegetable oil to the chocolate chips is my secret trick for silky smooth chocolate every time! The vegetable oil thins out the chocolate and makes it much easier to coat this snack mix.
WORK QUICKLY: White chocolate hardens quickly, so mix it with the popcorn and pretzels immediately after it is fully melted.
CANDY MELTS: I find it helpful to transfer the melted candy melts into separate Ziploc bags before cutting off one end and drizzling. This makes the chocolate drizzle more evenly and keeps things mess free.
TOPPING: The drizzled candy melts act as a glue for the candy corn, m&m’s, sprinkles, and candy eyes to stick to, so it’s important to top these with “the extras” before the candy melt drizzle has set.
COOLING: Transferring this snack mix onto a lined baking sheet prevents the snack mix from clumping together into one hard ball and ensures all the chocolate has set before enjoying. If you’re impatient like me, you’re going to want to transfer yours to the fridge or freezer to make the chocolate set up faster.
STORING: Halloween Monster Munch Popcorn Mix is best enjoyed within 2-3 days for optimal freshness, but you can transfer any leftovers into an airtight container or Ziploc bag and store at room temperature for up to 1 week.
