How to Make Ghost Popcorn Cups – Cute, Spooky, and Fun for All Ages
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Step 2: Coat the Popcorn
In a large bowl, pour melted chocolate over the popcorn. Add marshmallows and candies, tossing gently until coated and evenly mixed.
Step 3: Create the Ghost Cups
If using clear cups, draw ghost faces on the outside with a black permanent marker (two big eyes and a little “O” mouth). Let dry completely.
Step 4: Fill and Chill
Spoon the coated popcorn into each ghost cup. Add candy eyes or mini chocolate chips on top if desired. Let the chocolate set for about 10 minutes before serving.
