I also used bagged, lightly salted popcorn.

I used vanilla almond bark and generic Rice Krispies. This was very easy to make and was ready to eat in 15 minutes. Good mixture for social gatherings or just to have as a sweet snack.

This popcorn is a sweet and salty mixture that does not last long!

Use air popped because the microwave popcorn is full of carcinogens.

Very sturdy if you have to mail treats to anyone.

I didn't make it yet, but it sounds yummy, so I will be making it. Candy coating is chocolate made into round discs that look like flat Hershey's kisses and are used for candy making, as they melt quickly. You can find them at a candy supply store or at an craft supply (usually carry them) store. The rice cereal is Rice Krispies or similar store brand cereal.

I love this recipe! I just finished making it and have been munching on it. Hopefully there will be enough for the Halloween party! I used orange colored vanilla flavored candy melts (available at craft stores) and it looks very fall-inspired. I used Spanish peanuts because that's what I had on hand and it looks and tastes great. I will definitely be making this again, using different colored candy melts to fit the season!
