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 Popcorn: Pop the popcorn according to the package directions, ensuring it is fresh and fully popped for the best texture.
  2. Prepare Surface: Spread the popped popcorn evenly over 1-2 parchment-lined baking sheets to maximize surface area, making it easier to drizzle the chocolate and for it to set evenly.
  3. Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. This usually takes about 1 minute 30 seconds.
  4. Drizzle Chocolate: Using a spoon, drizzle the melted white chocolate evenly over the popcorn. Immediately sprinkle the red and green sprinkles over the chocolate before it hardens to ensure they stick.
  5. Set Chocolate: Allow the popcorn to sit undisturbed at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until the white chocolate has fully hardened.
  6. Store: Once set, store the popcorn in an airtight container. It will keep fresh for up to one week, making it a great make-ahead holiday snack.

Notes

  • Using coconut oil helps to achieve a smooth and fluid consistency when melting the white chocolate, making it easier to drizzle.
  • Ensure that the popcorn is spread out in a single layer to prevent clumping when coating with chocolate.
  • This treat is best enjoyed within one week of preparation for optimal freshness.
