Trick or Treat Popcorn Balls
Our Trick or Treat Popcorn Balls are a fun Halloween snack where every bite is a surprise - some sweet, some spicy.
These homemade popcorn balls are a delicious throwback to the days when Halloween treats were made in the kitchen, not just picked up in candy aisles. While they aren’t meant for handing out to trick-or-treaters at the door, they’re perfect for Halloween parties, movie nights, or spooky snack tables.
The “treat” balls get a drizzle of white chocolate and a dusting of sweet Dell Cove® Chocolate Caramel Seasoning, while the “trick” balls come with dark chocolate and a fiery hit of our Spicy Cajun Seasoning. Each bite keeps guests guessing: Is it sweet…or spicy?

In a large pot, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the sugar dissolves. Stir in butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Remove the pan from heat.

Add the popped Dell Cove® Mushroom Popcorn to the syrup mixture and stir until evenly coated. Let cool slightly before adding candy.
If it cools too much, gently rewarm over very low heat for a few seconds, then remove from heat.

You will want to stir in Halloween candies once the mixture is warm but not hot. This keeps the candy from melting.
Spray a 2-oz scoop with neutral oil, then scoop portions of the mixture and press into balls with your hands. Work quickly while the mixture is still pliable.

Melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave and drizzle over half of the popcorn balls. Sprinkle with Dell Cove® Spicy Cajun Seasoning for the “trick” version.
Next, melt the white chocolate chips and drizzle over the remaining popcorn balls. Sprinkle with Dell Cove® Chocolate Caramel Seasoning and add candy eyes for the “treat” version.
