    Would it be fine if I made this recipe a day in advance or would the popcorn go bad?

      Hi Chelsea! You can definitely make this early and store it in an air-tight container.

    I have just made this and had a hard time melting the candy melt and drizzling. It was so hot and a little clumpy. I went ahead and mixed all of the popcorn and candy melt together and it turned out alright. It is very tasty.

    That was such a fun and creative recipe! I never thought to add popping candy to popcorn, but now I can see how it would turn snack time into a real fireworks show. This would be perfect for a party or a movie night with friends. Speaking of fun, this reminds me of the excitement in games like Snow Rider 3D, where unexpected twists keep things interesting. Maybe I’ll make some firecracker popcorn next time I’m playing with friends to keep the energy up! Thanks for sharing this unique idea—I can’t wait to try it out.
