Description

This White Chocolate Christmas Popcorn is a festive and easy-to-make holiday treat. It features buttery microwave popcorn drizzled with smooth melted white chocolate and garnished with colorful red and green sprinkles. Perfect for holiday parties, gift-giving, or simply enjoying a sweet and crunchy snack during the Christmas season.

Ingredients

Scale

Popcorn

  • 1 bag microwave popcorn (butter flavored)

Chocolate Drizzle

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Decoration

  • red and green sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Pop the popcorn: Pop the microwave popcorn according to the package directions to ensure it’s fresh and fluffy.
  2. Prepare the popcorn base: Spread the popped popcorn evenly on 1 to 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. This provides plenty of surface area for the chocolate drizzle to coat the popcorn evenly.
  3. Melt the white chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring frequently until the mixture is smooth and completely melted. This should take about 1 minute 30 seconds.
  4. Drizzle the chocolate: Using a spoon, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the popcorn. Immediately sprinkle the red and green sprinkles on top to decorate before the chocolate hardens.
  5. Set the popcorn: Allow the popcorn to sit undisturbed for about 2 hours until the white chocolate hardens completely.
  6. Store the popcorn: Once the chocolate is set, store the popcorn in an airtight container. It will keep fresh for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Use coconut oil to help the white chocolate melt smoothly and achieve a beautiful drizzle consistency.
  • Spread the popcorn out thinly so the chocolate coating sets quickly and prevents clumping.
  • If desired, you can substitute sprinkles with chopped nuts or mini candy canes for a different holiday twist.
  • Microwave times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave; watch carefully to avoid burning the chocolate.
  • For a dairy-free version, ensure the popcorn and white chocolate chips are vegan-friendly.
