Make White Chocolate Popcorn in the shape of a skull. This is a creepy dessert to serve for Halloween or the Day of the Dead.
Pop ⅓ cup of popcorn kernels in an air popper.
Place the popped kernels in a very large mixing bowl and discard any unpopped kernels. You should have about 9 cups of popped popcorn.
Pour the melted white chocolate over the popcorn.
Use a large spatula or spoon to gently fold the popcorn and chocolate just until the popcorn is covered.
Quickly spoon the white chocolate popcorn into the skull mold, pressing down, making sure the top is level.
Refrigerate if using white chocolate, freeze if using confectionery coating, until set, about 15 minutes.
To un-mold, hold your hand over the popcorn, turn the mold upside down, and set just above your work surface.
Press gently on the mold and allow the popcorn skull to fall out. If it won't release from the mold, it may need a few more minutes of chilling time.
Pour melted and tempered dark chocolate or melted dark cocoa candy melts into a disposable pastry bag or zip-top bag.
Snip off one tip.
Pipe on eyes, nose and mouth.
Refrigerate for 7-10 minutes until set.
If you don't have an air popper, then place your kernels in a plain brown lunch bag, fold the top of the bag over a few times, and heat in the microwave on high power for 2-3 minutes until you hear the popping of the kernels slow to one to two pops per second.
Serve the skull within two days or store it in a large metal popcorn tin for up to 3 weeks.
