Today we have a fun, Halloween party treat that could go by several different names. I went with Troll Boogers for the Harry Potter Party, but you could also call it Zombie Boogers, Green Slime Popcorn, Grinch Popcorn for Christmas parties. It would also work perfectly for a St. Patrick’s Day party! If you have little kids, I’m sure they could even come up with some interesting names for you to use!

I suppose I could have stuck a wand into the Troll Boogers aka Troll Bogeys for effect. I have this little problem when I create the menu for parties…there are so many cool recipes! My focus was getting every idea in my head, made and on the table for the party. Staging, well let’s just say that wasn’t my top priority. I was also trying to keep the costs down. Sadly, I do not have Martha Stewart’s budget for parties!

How to make Troll Boogers Candied Popcorn:

This candy coated popcorn is actually pretty easy to make, it just takes a bit of time. Place the sugar, butter, and corn syrup in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat…..

Boil without stirring for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda, vanilla, and green coloring…..

Place popcorn in a large bowl, and pour the mixture over. Stir until completely coated…..

You guys know the microwave popcorn trick, right? Place 1/3 cup popcorn kernels in a brown paper lunch sack and heat in the microwave for 3 minutes and 50 seconds. I did this two times to make enough popcorn.

Spread the popcorn mixture out on a parchment/silpat lined baking sheet…..

Place in a preheated 250 degree oven for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes…..

Warning, it is a gooey mess to stir! Doesn’t that turn a lovely, disgusting green color? Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes, then break into pieces and serve…..

Be careful, popcorn will still be warm! Store leftovers in a sealed container, assuming there are any. 😉
