Introduction
This White Chocolate Popcorn is a delightful treat that combines sweet, creamy white chocolate with crunchy popcorn. It’s easy to make and perfect for parties, movie nights, or a simple sweet snack.
Ingredients
- 8-10 cups popcorn
- 1 cup white chocolate melting wafers, melted
Instructions
- Step 1: Prep by laying down a piece of wax paper on a baking sheet to catch the coated popcorn.
- Step 2: Melt the white chocolate by placing it in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute at 50% power, then stir until smooth. If needed, microwave for an additional 15 seconds until fully melted.
- Step 3: In a large bowl, combine the popcorn with the melted white chocolate. Stir gently until the popcorn is evenly coated. Spread the mixture onto the prepared wax paper in a single even layer. Add sprinkles or candy on top if you like.

Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of sea salt over the coated popcorn before it sets.
- Substitute white chocolate melting wafers with white chocolate chips if preferred; melt carefully to avoid burning.
- Add crushed nuts or dried fruit for added texture and taste.
Storage
Store the white chocolate popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to keep it fresh and crunchy. If your environment is warm, refrigerate it instead, but allow it to return to room temperature before serving to avoid the chocolate becoming too hard.

FAQs
Can I use regular white chocolate instead of melting wafers?
Yes, you can use regular white chocolate chips or bars. Melt them slowly and carefully to avoid burning, stirring frequently.
How do I keep the popcorn crunchy after coating?
Make sure to spread the coated popcorn evenly on wax paper and allow it to set fully without covering it while drying. Store in an airtight container to prevent moisture from softening the popcorn.
