Easy White Chocolate Popcorn Ingredients
Picking the perfect ingredients is key in this popcorn. Take this white chocolate popcorn and turn it into a gourmet, fancy popcorn that is full of flavor and deliciousness! Kids and adults love this popcorn and request it often.
Popcorn – Using gourmet popcorn will help enhance the flavors and create a more decadent treat. It is also a pure white color. We used gourmet white microwave popcorn. White candy melts – This melted white chocolate will be drizzled over the top of the popcorn. I prefer the Wilton brand, but any brand is great and works well. White chocolate chips or almond bark will work too. Food coloring – Choose your color for the holiday or special occasion. During Christmas, we like to use red and green, but for Valentine’s day, we go for pink and red. Pick which color is best for your family and friends. Colored candy melts – This is optional if you prefer to purchase the color ahead of time instead of using food coloring.
Suggestions for Perfect Popcorn
All you need is three ingredients and a microwave! Does it get any easier than that?! You will love how quickly this popcorn is made. Pop your popcorn, and then add in some sweetness for a delicious treat!
Importance of popcorn – I use gourmet white microwave popcorn because I love the crisp white color against the colors of the white chocolate, but you can use air-popped popcorn too. Steer clear of super buttery brands for this recipe though. It will become soggy if they are too buttery. Melting chocolate – When melting white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, be sure not overheat the chocolate. It is easier to burn white chocolate compared to chocolate melts. You will want melt chocolate in 15 to 20 second intervals. Preparing popcorn – Using parchment paper, spread the popcorn on a baking sheet and sift through to make sure you get all the popcorn kernels out of there that did not pop. Nobody wants to bite down on one of those!Drizzle white chocolate – Make sure to spread the white chocolate mixture evenly over all the popcorn, then toss to coat.
