• Place 2 candies, side-by-side, on each cracker; place on the prepared baking sheet and bake until the candies are just slightly softened, 2 minutes.

GIADA DE LAURENTIIS' HALLOWEEN POPCORN TREATS

Steps:

• Spray the inside of a large mixing bowl with vegetable cooking spray, and lightly spray a baking sheet. Set aside.
• In a 3 quart or larger, heavy-bottomed pan, heat the oil and popcorn over medium-high heat. Cover the pan and shake gently. Cook until all the kernels have popped, about 3 minutes. Place the popcorn in the prepared bowl.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over low heat. Add the vanilla extract and marshmallows. Stir constantly until the marshmallows have melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn. Using a spatula, sprayed with cooking spray, stir until the popcorn is coated. Spread the mixture over the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with the chocolate bar pieces, cookies, almonds and chocolate candies. Using a spatula, gently press the toppings into the popcorn. Allow the mixture to dry for 1 hour.
• Break into 2-inch pieces and store airtight in a plastic container. Serving Suggestion: Place in small plastic bags and seal with colored ribbon.
