Hello Popcorn loving friends!
My girls love any excuse to make something in the kitchen, but sometimes the work of finding a recipe that's simple enough for them to help with can be overwhelming!!
Below is our go-to recipe when the girls want to help make popcorn. Can I let you in on a secret? (We use the exact same recipe for each holiday and simply change out the color of the M&Ms and sprinkles! Shhhh!)
Sweet & Salty White Chocolate Easter Popcorn
Ingredients:
16 cups plain popcorn, popped
12 oz white chocolate chips or almond bark
1 cup M & M’s chocolate candies (pastel)
1 cup mini pretzels
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup chex cereal
1/2 cup salted peanuts
sprinkles (Easter, pastel colors)
Directions:
-
Pour popcorn into a large bowl.
-
Mix in the M & M’s, pretzels, mini marshmallows, chex cereal, and peanuts. Add in sprinkles to taste.
-
Place white chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Cook for 45 seconds, remove from microwave, and stir. Continue cooking at 25 second intervals, stirring each time, until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
-
Drizzle chocolate over popcorn mixture and gently mix until most pieces are covered with chocolate.
-
Spread out on a large jelly roll pan (or cookie sheet) until white chocolate hardens.
-
Store in an airtight container.
Note: recipe can be customized for any occasion (different colored M&M's for different holidays). Add or subtract ingredients as desired.
