Thanksgiving is right around the corner now that it is November and Thanksgiving usually means cold weather in NY so the kids are usually stuck in the house.  

In order to combat the winter blues and get the kids involved in the kitchen, I've created a Popcorn Mix that is not only delicious, but super cute.

Turkey Popcorn Mix

I didn't have an opportunity to make any sweets for Halloween with googley eyes or candy corns so it only seemed right that I create something fun for Thanksgiving with them.  My Bunny Tail Popcorn Mix was a huge hit with Riley in the Spring so I knew that she'd love this recipe.  It combines popcorn with various candies and white chocolate.  What's not to love?

Thanksgiving Popcorn Recipe

What makes this Turkey Popcorn Mix a great Thanksgiving treat?

The googley eyes are one of my favorite things about this popcorn mix because they just sneak up on you.  I envisioned the candy corns as the turkeys' beaks and the Candy Corn flavored M & M's as the embellishments to their wings.  Regardless of how you see it, this is the perfect treat to have the kiddos make.  Riley loved being able to add in the ingredients.  She especially loved telling me what part of the turkey she thought she was adding in.

Ingredients:

  • Pop Secret butter popcorn

How to make Turkey Popcorn Mix?

  • Pop the popcorn according to the package directions.
  • Lay the popped popcorn out on a parchment paper covered cookie sheet.
  • Add in the candy corns, M &M's and peanut butter chips.
  • Melt the candy melts and pour over the popcorn mixture.
  • Mix with a spoon or let the kids have fun mixing with hands.

Pro Tip

If you still have some leftover candy corns from Halloween it makes this recipe super simple.

    This is great if you're in Paris for a short weekend
    and want to give the kids a taste of Disneyland. 50
    and voila I managed to get into Euro Disney free of charge.

    Notre-Dame de la Treille Cathedral: Dedicated to the Virgin Mary,
    Lille's imposing cathedral possesses a unique main facade
    that was designed by Pierre-Louis Carlier, a local architect,
    along with with Peter Rice, the engineer who envisioned
    the Sydney Opera House's unconventional and striking design.
