Equipment

  • sheet pan
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients

  • 8-10 Cups Popped Popcorn
  • 10-12 oz Candy Melts pink and red or colors of choice

Instructions

  • Line a large baking pan with parchment paper, wax paper, or a silicone baking mat.
  • Spread out popcorn evenly on the parchment so it is in a single layer.
  • Melt your candy melts or chocolate according to the package directions.
  • Using either a pastry bag or spoon, drip about 1/2 the melted chocolate all over the popcorn.
  • White the chocolate is still wet, add 1/2 the marshmallows, sprinkles, M&Ms, and any other toppings you desire.
  • Let dry for 30-60 minutes until the chocolate is firm to the touch.
  • Mix up the popcorn and spread evenly over the parchment again. Repeat with adding more melted chocolate and toppings.
  • Let dry completely and then break apart into bite size pieces. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Prepare Your Toppings in Advance: Have your chosen toppings, such as crushed cookies, ready before you melt the chocolate. This ensures a quick and smooth assembly process without the chocolate hardening.
  • Use colored chocolate melts in the colors you want or buy candy food coloring, which is oil based and won’t cause your white chocolate melts or white chocolate to separate. You can not add regular or gel food coloring to white chocolate or it will get grainy.
  • The amount of chocolate and toppings can vary depending on how much popcorn you’re making, how many different colors you’re using, and how many times you decide to mix up and re-cover the popcorn with chocolate and toppings.
