With Halloween on the horizon and everything "sweet and fun", "tricks and kicks" taking center stage, fun and easy recipes are essential to start stockpiling! Snacking recipes like this always remind me of parties held at friends' houses for little celebrations like Halloween. I didn't start going to Halloween parties until high school, so maybe I'm wrong here! Regardless, fun snacks are needed for any party and at whatever age the party-goers are!

Loaded with allergy-free Rainbow Rocks, sprinkles. peanuts, apple, and of course, fresh popcorn, all baked in the oven! Perfect for any kid-friendly party!

Let me give you a bit of backstory to this little mix of mine. The reason this "trail mix" is baked is because it was supposed to be popcorn granola. It's a thing, it wasn't just a stroke of random genius, but I wanted to try it for myself. It just didn't work out very well and the popcorn didn't seem to take to baking very well. Instead, I got more creative and fun to make this party-poppin' mix instead! I'm glad this was the result, anyway!

Loaded with allergy-free Rainbow Rocks, sprinkles. peanuts, apple, and of course, fresh popcorn, all baked in the oven! Perfect for any kid-friendly party!

I went a little crazy with the random add-ins. Let's take a look! Freedom Foods Rainbow Rocks cereal (allergy-free and healthy fruity pebbles!), roasted peanuts, Sprinklz, vegan caramel, freeze-dried apple, some spices and of course the fresh popcorn which I made with my lovely popcorn maker!

Can you believe this is my first popcorn recipe on the blog? I love popcorn, that's why I got this snazzy air popper for Christmas last year! Have you ever tasted FRESH popcorn before? Wow! The stuff will blow your mind! It literally tastes so fresh and clean...natural. I just pop some organic popcorn kernelsΒ (or local) with nothing else. No salt, vegan butter, nothing.

However, the key to making my perfect popcorn preferences complete is to let it get a bit stale. Once I pop those kernels, I usually let them sit in a plastic bag for a few days. Of course I much some fresh and hot, but I do enjoy some stale non-flavored popcorn (call me crazy)! To me, it's just really good! This fun little gluten-free recipe for Circus Popcorn is far from plain, though! Those sweet Rainbow Rocks and yummy tummy roasted peanuts....SO GOOD! I don't mind some creative popcorn eating every now and again πŸ˜‰

Toss this Circus Popcorn (I don't know where the name came from, but sprinkles, peanuts, and popcorn reminded me of a circus) in a huge bowl and set it on the table for some kid-friendly party snacking! I'd say this is a Halloween treat that's just a smidge better than gallons of sugar, artificial flavors, or colors πŸ˜‰ You could even add in some chocolate chips too! That would be mighty delicious!

So tell me:

+ Were Halloween parties aΒ big thing when you were in school? Not until high school.

+ Do you pop your own popcorn? By the way...so much more cost efficient!

    Oh how fun! Love this idea. I am such a sucker for air popped popcorn -it's totally the only way! Someone once got me an airpopper for Christmas too and I have never gone back to microwaved since. I'll be honest... I'm not a fan of the plain stuff, I like a little coconut oil and sea salt. I'll have to try this fun circus version.

    I love to pop my own popcorn! I use the microwave and a paper lunch bag. As much of a popcorn junkie as I am, I can't believe I haven't experimented more with fun recipes like this. It looks so good!

      Haha, the old school way πŸ˜‰ But totally invest in a popper! I love when it shoots out and I just hold the bowl underneath and try to catch it all πŸ˜›

    You sure are right, popping my own popcorn sure is cost efficient and I control the amount of salt on them! As for this circus popcorn - - Rebecca, I LOVE it - what a lovely way to enjoy popcorn! I must say, this is my first time hearing about popcorn granola (thanks for that Food 52 link) and am fascinated!
