Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 bag microwave popcorn
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Valentine's M&Ms
- 1/4 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Pop the microwave popcorn according to package instructions. Once completed, carefully open the bag and pour the popcorn into a large mixing bowl, removing any unpopped kernels.
- Create a double boiler by placing a heat-safe glass bowl over a pot of simmering water. Ensure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
- Add white chocolate chips to the glass bowl and stir continuously with a rubber spatula until completely melted and smooth, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the melted white chocolate from heat and immediately drizzle over the popcorn, gently folding to ensure even coating.
- Quickly sprinkle Valentine's M&Ms and colorful sprinkles over the white chocolate-coated popcorn, distributing evenly.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet, spreading it in a single layer to allow the chocolate to set.
- Allow the popcorn to cool and chocolate to harden at room temperature for approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Once set, break the popcorn into clusters and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality white chocolate chips for the smoothest melting experience.
- Work quickly when drizzling chocolate and adding toppings to ensure even distribution.
- For a more gourmet look, use heart-shaped sprinkles or red and pink colored M&Ms.
- Allow the popcorn to cool completely to achieve that satisfying chocolate "crack" when breaking into clusters.
- Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the chocolate's shine and popcorn's crispness.
- For a fun twist, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to enhance the chocolate's sweetness.
- Make this recipe with kids for a fun, interactive Valentine's Day activity!
