<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Pop popcorn and place in a large bowl. Much larger than you think you need. The largest you have. It will make mixing easier! Pour peanuts, candy corn, and reeces pieces on top.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Take a large knife and break up almond bark. Melt according to package directions. I just chop it up a little and microwave it in intervals until smooth and melted. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Pour over popcorn mixture. </span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';">Stir until everything is well coated and then spread out onto waxed paper, parchment, or foil. Let sit until completely dry and then break up into clumps.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Directions</span></div>
<ol class="instructions" id="zlrecipe-instructions-list">
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-0" itemprop="recipeInstructions"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9X13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
</span></li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-1" itemprop="recipeInstructions"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In
a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and
garlic and cook, stirring often, until the onion is translucent and
tender, 3-4 minutes. Stir in the flour and let it cook, stirring
constantly, for 1-2 minutes.
</span></li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-2" itemprop="recipeInstructions"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gradually
add the chicken broth and milk while whisking vigorously. Continue
cooking and stirring for 4-5 minutes until the mixture simmers and
thickens. Stir in the basil, oregano, salt and pepper.
</span></li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-3" itemprop="recipeInstructions"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To
assemble, spread about 1 to 1 1/2 cups sauce on the bottom of the
prepared pan. Place 3 no-boil noodles on top and dollop with 1/2 of the
ricotta. No need to spread the ricotta out into an even layer, although
you can press it down a bit, just spoon it across. Add half of the
chicken on top of the ricotta.
</span></li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-4" itemprop="recipeInstructions"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Layer
on 1/2 of the chopped spinach. It will seem like a lot but just spread
it evenly - it will cook down while baking. Sprinkle 1/2 of the
mozzarella and 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese (don't forget to take out 1/4
cup of the Parmesan for sprinkling across the top!).
</span></li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-5" itemprop="recipeInstructions"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Place
3 noodles over the top, gently pressing down to compress the layers
below. Spread 1/2 of the remaining sauce over the top. Repeat the layers
again (remaining ricotta, chicken, spinach, mozzarella, Parmesan).
</span></li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-6" itemprop="recipeInstructions"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Place
the last 3 noodles over the top, pressing down again. Spread the
remaining sauce over the top and sprinkle with reserved Parmesan cheese.
</span></li>
<li class="instruction" id="zlrecipe-instruction-7" itemprop="recipeInstructions"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cover
the baking dish with lightly greased aluminum foil and bake for 30
minutes. Uncover and bake for 15 minutes until golden and bubbly. Let
the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving. </span></li>
