How many times do you watch The Nightmare Before Christmas during the month of October? It’s a lot in my house! One of my favorite characters is Sally and this Nightmare Before Christmas Themed Sally Popcorn is too adorable to pass up. I am a sucker for candied popcorn. This popcorn is teal, red, and yellow to look like Sally.

Candied popcorn is a fantastic way to make any themed party fun because of all of the fun flavors and colors you can create.

If you love Sally as much as I do, you’ll also love these Sally Cookies.

  1. Love this recipe/idea but i’ve Gone over it a few times to see if I missed anything……since there is three colors, shouldn’t we use three (not four) bowls or are we keeping one clear for something?

    • It’s not really baking the popcorn as much as keeping it warm. You want the popcorn to be warm when you apply the candy coating so that it doesn’t harden immediately and has a chance to coat the outside completely.
