Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave or over low heat on the stovetop. Once melted, gently pour over into the popcorn in the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are covered in white chocolate.

Now I save the candy eyeballs for last because I like to make sure they’re facing the right way… presentation is key for the kiddos! Just make sure you add them to the monster munch while the chocolate is still melted so they stick in place.

      We’re not moving again. I think our house was listed on Zillow for like 2 hours on Friday, haha. Is that how you saw it?

        Yes! I am in a local group that follows your page and we work together to recreate projects every weekend for one member at a time. One of our members spotted your Zillow and was curious 🙂 Great pictures!!!
