Thanksgiving Munch Recipe
When we have Thanksgiving at our house, I love to set out fall favorites like apple dumplings with Sprite, cranberry pecan cheeseball, and Sweet Potato Pie.
It’s also fun to have some fall treats for the kids to munch on, like this fall-themed popcorn munch. In my opinion, the combination of salted popcorn and chocolate is impossible to resist. It’s the ultimate fall snack or Thanksgiving treat for the kids. Best of all, it’s easy to make!

How to Make Thanksgiving Munch in a Waffle Cone
Melt the melting chocolates in a microwave-proof glass bowl
Reserve 1/2 cup of melted chocolate for the waffle cones
Pour the rest of the melted chocolate over the salted popped popcorn and mix so the chocolate coats the popcorn
Spread the popcorn out onto the wax paper-lined baking sheet
Add candies to the top of the chocolate popcorn
Let the melted chocolate dry and harden
Break the popcorn up into pieces
If the reserved chocolate melts have hardened, pop them back into the microwave for 10-30 seconds to melt again.
Set out a sheet of wax paper on your work surface
Pour sprinkles into a small bowl
Roll the top of the waffle cones into the reserved melted chocolate, coating the outside with melted chocolate.
Next, roll the cone into the bowl of sprinkles, coating the melted chocolate with sprinkles.
Set onto wax paper to dry and harden.
Place a waffle cone into a treat bag, keeping it toward the opening of the bag
Spoon the popcorn mixture into the cone so it spills out of the front
Push the cone all the way down to the bottom of the bag
Pinch the top of the bag and secure it with a twist-tie
