It’s super easy to create this perfectly festive orange candy popcorn. Using orange-flavored gelatin, you can make this snack in no time at all.

Simply pop a bag of popcorn in the microwave according to package instructions (or use the stove top, whichever method you prefer). Scoop the popcorn into a large bowl, being careful not to leave any unpopped kernels behind.

Meanwhile, heat up butter, corn syrup, sugar, and orange-flavored gelatin in a sauce pan, and simmer for about five minutes. Pour onto popcorn, and toss to coat. Heat up in the oven for 12-15 minutes, allow to cool, and break into bite-sizes pieces.

Once the popcorn has been prepped, mix in DOVE Milk Chocolate Ghosts and M&M’S Boo-terscotch White Chocolate.
