A quick and easy sweet and crunchy popcorn snack coated in creamy white chocolate and colorful sprinkles, perfect for movie nights and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels (120 ml) or 10 cups pre-popped popcorn
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) white chocolate, chopped or in chips
  • 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (50 grams) colorful sprinkles
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pop the popcorn: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup kernels, cover, and shake occasionally until popping slows (~3-4 minutes). Transfer popped corn to a large bowl, removing any unpopped kernels. If using pre-popped popcorn, measure about 10 cups and set aside.
  2. Melt the white chocolate and butter: Fill a saucepan with about an inch of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Place chopped white chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over the pot. Stir frequently until fully melted and smooth (5-7 minutes).
  3. Add vanilla extract: Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla into the melted chocolate mixture.
  4. Combine popcorn and chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the popcorn. Using a silicone spatula, gently fold to coat the popcorn evenly.
  5. Sprinkle with sprinkles and salt: Immediately sprinkle 1/3 cup colorful sprinkles over the coated popcorn. Add a pinch of sea salt if desired. Toss gently to distribute.
  6. Set the popcorn: Spread the coated popcorn onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Let cool at room temperature for 20-30 minutes until chocolate hardens.
  7. Break apart and serve: Once set, break any large clusters apart with your hands. Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy.

Notes

Use freshly popped popcorn for best coating. Melt chocolate gently using a double boiler to avoid seizing. Add sprinkles immediately while chocolate is wet. Avoid overcoating popcorn to keep crunch. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a low oven if popcorn softens.
