Candy Corn Popcorn Chewy Halloween Bars
Festive….colorful….and scrumptious! Those are the ways I would describe these Candy Corn Popcorn Chewy Halloween Bars. I have a confession…my favorite movie treats are a bag of candy corn and popcorn. If you haven’t ever tried this combo you MUST! If you are a fan of caramel corn you will be VERY pleased with this combo. Eating the candy corn and popcorn at the same time is a MUST! That’s the only way you will get the full caramel corn effect. The perfect Halloween Party Dessert!
It seems that now you can find many of your favorite treats in either the form of candy corn or flavored like candy corn. These sweet marshmallow tasting treats have long been a traditional Fall candy in my house.
In addition to candy corn, I also found candy corn marshmallows at Target in the Halloween section. DELICIOUS!
Then I came across candy corn flavored candy bars. Also DELICIOUS!
So of course I had to put them all together and create a CANDY CORN EXPLOSION! It was hard waiting for these treats to harden up enough to cut.
I forgot to mention that these bars are made with salty popcorn! You know me and my salty/sweet combo. They taste like popcorn balls! 🙂
