Description

Celebrate the holiday season with this festive White Chocolate Christmas Popcorn. Combining buttery microwave popcorn with a smooth drizzle of melted white chocolate and colorful red and green sprinkles, this easy-to-make treat offers a sweet and crunchy snack perfect for Christmas parties or cozy winter nights.

Ingredients

Scale

Popcorn

  • 1 bag microwave popcorn (butter flavored)

White Chocolate Drizzle

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Decoration

  • Red and green sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Pop the popcorn: Prepare the microwave popcorn according to the package directions until fully popped.
  2. Prepare baking sheets: Spread the popped popcorn evenly over 1-2 parchment-lined baking sheets, ensuring plenty of surface area for the chocolate drizzle to coat the popcorn effectively.
  3. Melt the white chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted. This process typically takes about 1 minute and 30 seconds.
  4. Drizzle chocolate and add sprinkles: Using a spoon, drizzle the melted white chocolate evenly over the popcorn. Immediately sprinkle the red and green sprinkles on top to decorate before the chocolate hardens.
  5. Let chocolate harden: Allow the popcorn to sit at room temperature for about 2 hours so the white chocolate can fully harden and set.
  6. Store the popcorn: Once hardened, transfer the popcorn to an airtight container. Store it for up to 1 week to maintain freshness and crunchiness.

Notes

  • Coconut oil helps the white chocolate melt smoothly and makes drizzling easier.
  • For a quicker setting time, you can place the popcorn tray in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Use parchment or wax paper to prevent the popcorn from sticking to the tray.
  • Choose butterfly or kettle corn varieties for a different flavor profile if preferred.
  • Add a pinch of sea salt for a sweet and salty twist before the chocolate hardens.
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 5 minutes
