Learn how easy it is to make some Halloween popcorn bags for your little ones! These fun bags are perfect for a Halloween party, trick-or-treat night and more!
Halloween Popcorn Bags
You may not be getting ready for Halloween parties just yet, but if you are anything like me, you’ll be scrambling around at the last minute, looking for easy Halloween crafts and recipes. Now is the time to pin this or save it because you probably already have everything you need on hand, and you can make this from start to finish in 10 minutes or less!
These Halloween popcorn bags are also easy enough for your little ones to help—just keep an eye on them. My two youngest sons ate almost all of the popcorn mix before we had a chance to make our treat bags!
How To Make Popcorn Snack Mix
First, you will need to whip up some popcorn snack mix. There is a recipe below, or you can make this Halloween popcorn.
Ingredients Needed To Make Popcorn Snack Mix
- 1 bag of microwave popcorn
- 1 cup of mini marshmallows
- 1 cup of white chocolate chips
Step 1: Make Popcorn
Make the popcorn according to the directions on the bag.
Step 2: Allow Popcorn To Cool
Allow it to cool.
Step 3: Mix In Marshmallows & White Chocolate Chips
Gently toss in the mini marshmallows and the white chocolate chips.
How To Make Halloween Popcorn Bags
Now that you have your popcorn mix, it is time to put it together into cute bags that are perfect for those little trick-or-treaters on Halloween night!
Supplies Needed To Make Halloween Popcorn Bags
- Clear treat bags from the store – any shape is fine, but if you have the bags made specifically for large cookies, those will work best
- Twine or ribbon (in any color)
- Sharpie
Step 1: Draw Faces On Bags
Using the Sharpie, draw O’s for ghosts (boo!) or triangles for mini Jack-o-lanterns. Let the kids really use their imagination here and draw whatever face they would like.
Step 2: Add Popcorn Mix To Bags
Stuff the bags with the popcorn mix of your choice until full.
Step 3: Tie Popcorn Bag
Tie closed with twine or ribbon.
I stayed with an all-white theme for the treats, but you could also use anything you’d like to make your treat bags special. These easy Halloween treat bags will be the hit of any party!
These would also make a cute Halloween party activity. Let the kids make their own bags and stuff them with popcorn as a party favor. They will love drawing on the bags and snacking on the popcorn after the party is over. Halloween popcorn bags are a great way to celebrate this fall, and they are so easy to make!
Tips and Tricks for Halloween Popcorn Bags
Now that you’ve seen how to make these Halloween popcorn bags, are you ready to make your own? Here are a few tips and tricks to ensure your project goes as smoothly as possible!
- Use Store-Bought Popcorn – If you don’t have time to make popcorn, you can always skip this step and use your favorite store-bought popcorn instead.
- Adjust The Size- When making these popcorn bags for treat-or-treaters, I chose to create a small size. However, you can make these popcorn bags any size that you like!
- Break Out Your Cricut – If you would rather not free-hand your design (or you don’t want your kids playing with a Sharpie), you can use your Cricut to cut out a face from vinyl and apply it to your clear bag instead.
