Equipment
- Large pot with lid or popcorn maker
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- Small Bowl
- Spoon
- Large Bowl
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- ¾ tsp salt
- ½ tsp coconut oil
- ¾ cup M&Ms or dark chocolate chunks
- 3 tbsp red and green sprinkles
Instructions
- Pop your kernels - Place a large pot on the stovetop on high heat and add your popcorn kernels and coconut oil. Remove from the heat as soon as popping subsides.
- Separate out any unpoped kernels - The last thing you want is to crunch down on a hard kernel! Place the popped popcorn in a large bowl.
- Prepare the white chocolate - In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate and about a tsp of coconut oil. Microwave on low or using the melt chocolate feature just until the chocolate chips look softened. Remove from microwave and stir to complete the melting process. White chocolate burns quickly if overheated so take it out early and stir.It will seem like the chocolate chips will never melt but keep stirring and the little heat that remains along with the warm coconut oil is all you need to melt the white chocolate and achieve the smooth consistency. If the chocolate really won’t melt after a few stirs, pop it back in but only for little bit more time to reheat slightly.
- Drizzle the chocolate over the popcorn - Drizzle half of the white chocolate over the popcorn and sprinkle half the salt. Gently mix the mixture together. Drizzle the remaining chocolate and sprinkle with salt and mix again.
- Add the sprinkles - Now toss your mixture in the M&Ms s and sprinkles!
Notes
Stores for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
While popping your popcorn kernels, leave the lid of the pot just slightly off to stop the kernels from flying.
Make sure you remove all the unpopped kernels!
