This easy recipe is the perfect halloween popcorn snack for your next halloween party or spooky movie night!
This is the easiest halloween party popcorn ever. Even easier than Unicorn popcorn, just sprinkle activated charcoal or matcha powder on top of your favorite popcorn and viola, a spooky and tasty treat in less than 5 minutes!
Ingredients
- Popcorn: you can use any type of popcorn – homemade, microwaved, bagged, it all works! I personally think popcorn that has a coating like this looks better and really helps the charcoal or matcha powder stick.
- Activated Charcoal: make sure it is food grade. You can read more about using activated charcoal in food here.
- Matcha Powder or Spirulina Powder: either works fine to make moldy green popcorn. They will have a slight flavor.
How to make
This popcorn is so easy, you just add the powder to the popcorn and shake or mix to coat. That’s it! You can add as much or as little as you want. It’s up to you and completely customizable.
Tips for making this easy halloween popcorn
- With activated charcoal, a little goes a long way. It is very powdery and spreads easily, so start with a small amount, you can always add more!
- While activated charcoal has very little flavor, matcha powder and spirulina powder do have a slight flavor. Both are great with plain or buttered popcorn, and matcha also goes well with kettle corn and other slightly sweet popcorns.
- Please note, while activated charcoal is generally considered safe, too much can interfere with certain medications. You can read more about activated charcoal here.
