Halloween Popcorn

Halloween is almost upon us so I've made the perfect treat for a scary movie night in.

I picked up some of Butterkist's limited edition green popcorn for only £1 in Tesco and decided to make some treat cones. To be honnest I think the green popcorn could easily be mistaken as sprouts but for me they're scarier than any ghosts and ghouls so I just went for it. I found some Halloween sprinkles in B&M bargains and bought some Reese's Pieces for no other reason than the colours worked well. I bought some chocolate chips in Poundland with the intention of melting them and incorporating all the ingredients together but turns out it was terrible to melt- won't be trying that again!

I simply layered up all the goodies, starting with the halloween sprinkles. There are ghosts, bats and little orange pumpkins. They're super cute. I decided not to use the orange sprinkles but they'd definitely work well. I only used the orange and yellow Reese's Pieces so I could eat the brown ones right away to stick with the theme and then topped up the bag with the popcorn.

These little cones will make the perfect sidekick for a scary movie marathon or if you want to go that extra mile for your tick or treaters this year. I'll be eating mine whilst watching Scream Queens - I'm not one for super scary!

I hope you have a great halloween!

5 scary movies for people who don't like scary movies!

I love halloween. I love dressing up, carving pumpkins and filling my room with ghostly decor. There's one thing I can't get on board with though; scary movies. I guess the entire scary aspect of Halloween sort of puts me off a bit. With that in mind, I've compiled a list of some of my favourite not so scary movies!

Casper. If you're a 90's kid, this one is a childhood classic. Casper is the spirit of a 12 year old boy and he is anything but scary. 

Addam's Family. They're a spookily strange family but once you get past that and embrace the weird and wonderful you can enjoy the film for all it's brilliance. Although I must admit. Thing (the hand) scared the hell out of me as a child.

Harry Potter. Wizards, spells, friendship, love and magic - you all know the drill. 

Monsters, Inc. I much prefer MI to the prequel Monster's University. It challenges the concept children have of scary monsters but there really is no age limit on this one.

Hocus Pocus. The classic search of the spell for immortality but not your average Disney film. I loved this as a kid but haven't watched it in years. Only looking back have I realised SJP plays Sarah. 

What's your favourite non-scary Halloween movie? Or are you all for a fright night movie session?
