Fun & Festive White Chocolate Popcorn Mix

Looking for a quick, fun treat that’s easy to make and perfect for parties, movie nights, or as a sweet snack to share with friends? This White Chocolate Popcorn Mix has it all – the crunch of popcorn and pretzels, the colorful sweetness of M&Ms, and a drizzle of creamy white chocolate to bring it all together. It’s simple, delicious, and a total crowd-pleaser. Let’s get popping!


Ingredients

  • Popcorn (freshly popped)
  • Pretzels (mini or broken pieces work great)
  • M&Ms (pick colors for a seasonal theme or just use classic!)
  • Vanilla Candy Melts (milk or dark chocolate works great too)
  • Sprinkles (optional, but they add such a fun touch!)

Instructions

  1. Pop Your Popcorn
    Start by popping a batch of popcorn – the base of our treat. Feel free to use stovetop, microwave, or an air-popper. Just make sure to remove any unpopped kernels so nobody bites into a surprise!

  2. Mix in the Pretzels and M&Ms
    Toss the pretzels and M&Ms in with the popcorn, using as much or as little as you like. This is a fun part to customize – add just a few M&Ms for a hint of sweetness or toss in a big handful for extra chocolatey bites.

  3. Melt the Vanilla Candy Melts
    Place the vanilla candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on 50% power for 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. This low-and-slow approach keeps the chocolate from overheating and seizing up.

  4. Drizzle Over Popcorn Mix
    Pour about half of the melted white chocolate over your popcorn mixture. Use a rubber spatula to toss it gently, helping the chocolate coat as much as possible. Then drizzle the remaining half over the mixture for that final touch of sweetness.

  5. Spread on Wax Paper
    Once it’s coated, pour the mixture onto a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper. Lining cookie sheets with the paper works well too – it gives the mixture a bit more room to spread out as it cools.

  6. Add Sprinkles for Extra Fun
    While the mixture is still sticky, sprinkle on your favorite colorful sprinkles! This step is optional but adds a festive, playful touch.

  7. Cool and Harden
    Let the mixture sit at room temperature until it’s fully cooled and the chocolate has hardened. You can speed this up by placing the trays in the fridge for a few minutes if needed.
