Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 10 to 12 cups popped popcorn Plain is best
  • 10 to 12 oz white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate Choose a smooth melting type
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil or coconut oil Optional but helps chocolate melt smoother
  • 1 pinch salt Especially if popcorn is unsalted
Optional Add-Ins
  • as desired sprinkles For decoration
  • as desired crushed cookies For extra texture
  • as desired mini marshmallows For sweetness
  • as desired chopped nuts Add for crunch

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pop the popcorn using stove top or air popper, ensuring to remove any unpopped kernels.
  2. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20 to 30 second bursts, stirring after each burst.
Coating and Setting
  1. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the popcorn, tossing gently to coat without crushing.
  2. Spread the coated popcorn on a parchment-lined baking sheet and add optional sprinkles or extras while it's still wet.
  3. Let it set at room temperature for 15 to 25 minutes.
Serving
  1. Once dry, break into clusters and serve.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 to 5 days to keep it crunchy. Avoid the fridge to prevent moisture from affecting texture.
