Ingredients
- 1/2 cup popcorn unpopped, or 16 cups premade
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups dark melting chocolate wafers
- 1/2 cup red hots
- 3/4 cup thin pretzel sticks broken in half
- 1 package candy eyes .88 ounce package
Instructions
Stir Crazy Directions
- Plug-in the Stir Crazy and pour in the oil and add popcorn. In a small bowl mix the sugar and cinnamon together. Wait a minute or two to let the popcorn kernels covered in oil, then add the sugar and cinnamon evenly over the popcorn kernels.
- Place lid on the Stir Crazy and wait for all kernels to be popped. Once all the kernels are popped, un-plug and turn over stir crazy. Pour out onto 2 ft. x 2 ft. piece of wax paper and let it cool. Follow instructions below for toppings.*
Stove Top Directions
- Pour the oil and corn kernels in a large pot over med-high heat (make sure you use one that has a tight fitting lid). Place the lid on top of the pot and mix it around a few times directly on burner.
- In a small bowl mix the sugar and cinnamon together. Then add sugar directly on top of the corn kernels.
- Replace lid and shake the pot in circular motion on the burner, until you hear the kernels start to pop.
- Continue to shake in a circular motion while the kernels are popping until they are all completely popped, when there's about 2-3 seconds between pops.
- Remove from heat and pour out onto 2 ft. x 2 ft. piece of wax paper and let it cool.
- *Melt dark chocolate in the microwave, I started with 1 minute then stir and heat for another 30-45. Stir again until completely melted, no chunks.
- Drizzle over popcorn, then top with red hots and pretzels; then mix together using two large spoons and slightly turning the popcorn, pretzels and red hots over one another, until all of the mix is mostly covered.
- Once chocolate has cooled and hardened, add in eyeballs and serve.
