Halloween isn’t just about candy and costumes- it’s about poppin’ fun. Forget bobbing for apples; this year we’re bobbing for bowls of buttery, spooky-good popcorn. Here’s how to throw an Opopop party that’ll be the talk of the (haunted) town.
Step 1: Popcorn Bar of Horrors
Every great party has a snack table, but every legendary party has a Popcorn Bar of Horrors.
-
Salty Caramel = Vampire’s Delight: Sweet, salty, dangerously irresistible.
-
Maui Heat = Fire-Breathing Dragon: Spicy-sweet with a cayenne kick.
-
Pickle Monster = Swamp Creature’s Snack: Briny, tangy, monstrously good.
-
Pumpkin Spice = Witch’s Brew: Cozy cinnamon magic in every bite.
Line them up in cauldrons, pumpkin bowls, or even labeled “toxic waste” jars. Encourage mixing. Dare guests to create the scariest combo (see step 2 for fun topping ideas).
Step 2: Trick-or-Treat Toppings
Set out toppings so guests can doctor their bowls into monster-worthy creations:
-
Candy Corn Chaos → Toss candy corn into Pumpkin Spice.
-
Zombie Brains → Add gummy worms to Super Butter.
-
Midnight Crunch → Drizzle melted chocolate over Salty Caramel.
-
Graveyard Dust → Sprinkle crushed Oreos onto Lightly Salted.
-
Witch’s Ashes → Drizzle lightly with honey and a crack of black pepper.
The weirder, the better.
Step 3: More Snacks for the Creepy Spread
Round out the snack table with a few extra spooky (but easy) bites:
-
Mummy Dogs – Hot dogs wrapped in crescent roll dough “bandages.” Recipe here.
-
Pumpkin Deviled Eggs – Orange-colored yolk filling, chive stems for pumpkin “stalks.” Recipe here.
-
Witch’s Guacamole – Guac shapes the witch’s face, with blue corn chips as the witch’s hat. Recipe here.
-
Spooky Spider Crackers – Ritz crackers with peanut butter, pretzel-stick “legs.” Recipe here.
These quick bites balance out your popcorn feast and keep the snack table playful.
Step 4: Fright Night Pairings
What’s popcorn without a little binge-watching? Queue up the classics:
-
Super Butter + Hocus Pocus → campy, over-the-top, and timeless.
-
Pickle Monster + Ghostbusters → tangy chaos meets spooky chaos.
-
Pumpkin Spice + The Addams Family → a little dark, a little sweet, always iconic.
Step 5: Set the Spooky Soundtrack
Build a playlist that keeps the energy fun, freaky, and a little absurd:
-
Thriller – Michael Jackson
-
Somebody’s Watching Me – Rockwell
-
I Put a Spell on You – Bette Midler (Hocus Pocus version)
-
Ghostbusters – Ray Parker Jr.
-
Monster Mash – Bobby “Boris” Pickett
-
Season of the Witch – Donovan or Lana Del Rey cover
Step 6: Leave with a Pop
Send guests home with Opopop sachets as their party favor. Label them “Witch’s Rations” or “Zombie Survival Packs” for maximum spooky flair.
