Notes
Serving: serve in a large bowl, or portion into bags or cups for party treats; pair with Halloween plates and napkins for a festive touch.
Storage: keep in airtight container; best within 2–3 days for crispness. Refrigeration extends shelf life but may soften popcorn.

Variation: swap white chocolate for dark or milk chocolate; add M&M’s, candy corn, or themed sprinkles for variety.
FAQs:
• Plain vs. buttered popcorn? Plain works best—lets chocolate and candy shine.
• No microwave? Melt chocolate with a double boiler on the stove.
• Add more candies? Yes—customize with any Halloween-friendly treats.
