Add the white chocolate melts, peanuts and chocolate chips to the crockpot.
Set to cook on low for 1 hour, stirring at the half an hour mark.
If you’re going with homemade popcorn, now’s the time to get popping. You can use an air popper, stovetop with some coconut oil, or even microwave popcorn—just be sure to avoid any buttery or overly salty varieties. You want plain or lightly salted popcorn here.
Stir the melted chocolate and peanuts together.
Add in popcorn, marshmallows and candy corn. Mix with a long handled spoon until all of the popcorn is coated in chocolate.
Add Halloween sprinkles and toss.
Grab your cookie scoop and drop large scoops of the coated popcorn into cupcake liners on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. This trick helps the popcorn balls stay in perfect shape without needing to roll them with your hands (less mess, more fun!).
Top each ball with an extra candy corn or two and pop them in the fridge for an hour to set.

Make sure you have removed any unpopped kernels before mixing in your popcorn. Nobody wants a cracked tooth!

Instead of plain air-popped popcorn, try using microwave popcorn, or kettle corn.

You can prepare the chocolate and peanuts in the microwave. Just make sure you are using a microwave-safe bowl to do it.

If you don't have a crockpot to mix everything in, simply put your popcorn into a large bowl and pour the melted chocolate and marshmallow mixture over the top of the popcorn, stirring well as you go.

Wrap individual Halloween popcorn balls in parchment paper, wax paper, or plastic wrap to prevent them from sticking together.
