This Toffee Halloween popcorn is a crunchy sweet holiday snack. Popcorn is tossed in a mixture of maple syrup and brown sugar with chocolate chips and sprinkles. Hey there, sweet tooth.

Halloween Night

I remember walking along the boardwalk with my parents when I was little. It was night time and the whole boardwalk was lit up and people were everywhere. I saw an awesome ride in the distance that looked like a whirly car going down a hill. I pointed to it and my father asked if that’s what I really wanted to go on. So I nodded yes.

What he thought I was pointing at and what I actually wanted to do were two very different things. The next thing I knew, I was in my first haunted house. We walked through the winding dark hallways with creepy noises following us, things jumping out at us and general haunted house mischief. I was terrified, but I walked through the whole thing, wondering at what point I was going to get in the car and get to go down the hill.

There was no car – but I did go through my first haunted house and live to tell about it.

I’m glad that I didn’t have any toffee popcorn in my hands or it would have been all over the floor of the haunted house.

Notes

From: Babble

Needless to say, I’ve never been much for haunted houses – but I love a good ghost story and can appreciate a bad horror movie from time to time. It’s October and Halloween is coming quick; we might as well get a little creeped out for it.

Let’s make a promise to eat lots of toffee popcorn with Halloween sprinkles, too.
