Valentines White Chocolate Popcorn
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 12 cups 1x
- Category: Dessert
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 8 to 10 cups popped popcorn
- salt to taste
- 1 package, 12 oz white chocolate (high-quality chocolate will melt better)
- pretzels, about 2 cups, a handful or two; break the sticks in half if you wish
- mini marshmallows, a cup or two
- conversation hearts, about a cup, optional
- pink or red colored sanding sugar, a couple tablespoons
- desired decorations, hearts lips, etc.
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with wax or parchment paper. Set aside.
Place popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl and add salt to taste. The final product does taste better if the popcorn is salted. Add pretzels, marshmallows and conversation hearts.
Add white chocolate to a microwave safe bowl. Working in 1-minute intervals, heat white chocolate, stirring after each minute, until warm and melted. Carefully pour melted white chocolate over popcorn mix and gently mix with a spatula until popcorn is coated.
Spread out on lined baking sheet. While still warm sprinkle with sugar and decorations. Let cool and once set, break into bite-sized chunks.
Note: If white chocolate is too thick to spread add a little neutral oil, a teaspoon at a time until it can be worked with. Even if it’s very thick, it will still spread and cover the popcorn.
