This year Halloween may look a little different but one activity that will not change is staying in to enjoy a classic horror movie. And as you Netflix and chill, be sure to come to the couch party with delicious Halloween-themed snacks. We used DaVinci Gourmet syrups to take movie popcorn and cocktail recipes to another level.

Check out this Halloween snack and spooky cocktail recipe!

Peanut Butter Cup Popcorn Recipe
Trick or treating loot usually includes the beloved peanut butter cup. The amazing flavor combination of peanut butter and chocolate is like a gift from the heavens -- it’s that good (in this writer’s opinion). We are always finding new ways to incorporate these flavors in foods like cakes, ice cream, or cereal. This takes sweet creamy peanut butter cup flavors and combines with salty light popcorn. Our recipe uses DaVinci’s Sugar-Free syrup and dark chocolate to reduce the amount of sugar since you are going to want to eat the whole bowl without any guilt.

Ingredients:
‧ 1 dark chocolate bar
‧ ½ oz DaVinci Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Syrup
‧ 1 package of popcorn

Direction:
1. Prepare popcorn according to package directions.
2. Chop the chocolate bar into tiny pieces and put it into a glass bowl/mug.
3. Microwave chocolate in 30-second increments until melted. 4. Add in the DaVinci Peanut Butter Syrup and mix
5. Drizzle the chocolate mixture over the popcorn and enjoy!

DaVinci Bloody Cocktail
Although you were taught not to play with your food, this cocktail encourages a little fun!
