This Monster Munch recipe is a cute way to jazz up an ordinary popcorn treat. Adding a special Halloween touch making it so much fun for the kids, hands down a favorite for mine. By adding chocolate, candy corn and peanuts its gives it that extra special touch they go crazy for.
The Monster Munch is a perfect combo of sweet and savory. You can switch it up with different kinds of nuts or add different Halloween candy too, to make it our own. Perfect to serve this up for a special family movie night or in little goodie bags for the trick or treaters.
Around any holiday I like to make special treats or activities for my kids. Its something I know they always look forward to and Halloween is one you can have so much fun with.

10/06/2014 at 8:50 amI know I would enjoy eating an entire bowl of this!! I doubt it would even get broken up before I was gobbling it up!! There would be none left for the tick or treaters who come to my door. Oh well-they will just have to be satisfied with plain old wrapped candy!!

10/06/2014 at 9:02 amThis is an amazing recipe! And it is unlike any that I have ever seen. The combo of ingredients sounds so good – the only problem would be figuring out how not to munch on it all myself. Have a fun Halloween!
