Valentine's Day Popcorn Mix
This popcorn is mixed with melted white chocolate, pretzels, sprinkles, your favorite M&M's, and anything else you would like. It's pretty amazing! It's salty, sweet, and delicious and makes a great snack or treat to be shared.
Ingredients
- 6 cups cooked popcorn about ½ cup uncooked kernels
- 2 cups mini pretzels or sticks/regular size broken into pieces
- 2 cups M&M's any variety, preferably holiday colors
- pinch ground sea salt
- 10-12 oz bag white chocolate candy melts white or pink colored
- sprinkles holiday colors and shapes
Instructions
- Prepare or open your bag of popcorn and pour into an extra large mixing bowl. Add in M&M's, pretzels, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix to combine.
- Using a double boiler, melt the white chocolate. This method may take longer but allows for a smoothly melted white chocolate. ***See notes below for a photo of the method. If you'd rather use the microwave, heat the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power in 30 second increments, stirring in between heating.
- Pour half of the melted white chocolate over the bowl of popcorn mix. Using a rubber spatula, mix to combine.
- Spread out a long sheet of wax paper and pour the popcorn mixture in a flat layer. Drizzle the remaining white chocolate over the popcorn and pour sprinkles evenly over the popcorn.
- Let the white chocolate harden. Once the popcorn mix has hardened completely, break apart and store in a sealed container or separate into small treat bags to share with your friends and family.
Notes
***Here is a way to do the double boiler method. Boil water in a pot, and using a heat safe bowl, pour in the white chocolate. The heat from the boiling water will gently and evenly melt the chocolate. But make sure to mix frequently with a rubber spatula.
***You will more than likely want to double this recipe, but make it in batches because it requires a large mixing bowl.
