How to Make White Chocolate Party Popcorn

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate

Melt the white chocolate candy melts according to package instructions or in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval, until smooth. You can also melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water.

Step 2: Coat the Popcorn

Place the popped popcorn in a large bowl. Pour the melted white chocolate over the popcorn and stir gently until all the popcorn is evenly coated.

Step 3: Decorate and Cool

Spread the coated popcorn in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Sprinkle with your favorite sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet. Allow the chocolate to harden completely at room temperature.

Step 4: Store and Serve

Once the chocolate is set, break the popcorn into smaller clusters and store it in an airtight container or a ziplock bag. Serve and enjoy!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
