Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by preparing your workspace for the Hocus Pocus Halloween Popcorn. Line three large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat. Drop in a few popcorn kernels to test if the oil is ready.
  3. Once popping begins, add the remaining kernels, cover the pot, and shake gently until there’s a 3-5 second gap between pops.
  4. Divide the white chocolate chips and remaining coconut oil into three microwave-safe bowls. Microwave until melted and smooth.
  5. Add several drops of gel food coloring to each bowl, stirring to mix in a vibrant Halloween hue.
  6. Transfer the popcorn into a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate over different sections of popcorn, tossing to coat.
  7. Sprinkle your chosen mix-ins over the colored popcorn while the chocolate is still wet, pressing gently to adhere.
  8. Allow the popcorn to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to let the chocolate harden.
