Holiday POPcorn
This is a wonderful holiday treat that’s easy enough for kids to make. The pop rocks make it a little more fun and unique. (Of course, you can omit them if you choose). Perfect for a sweet treat or in a holiday goodie bag for a friend.
Ingredients:
2 bags microwave popcorn (plain or light butter)
24-36 oz white chocolate chips, depending on how chocolatey you want it
2 packets pop rocks (cherry or peppermint flavor)
4 candy canes, broken into small pieces but not crushed
Holiday sprinkles
Directions:
Pop popcorn according to package instructions.
Spread popped popcorn out on a baking sheet lined with wax or parchment paper. You may need two baking sheets as you want a thin, single layer of popcorn. Pull out any unpopped kernels and discard.
Melt white chocolate chips in a glass bowl. Stir frequently so the chips don’t burn. We find that 30 second increments in the microwave with frequent stirring works best.
Pour melted white chocolate evenly over popcorn. Evenly sprinkle pop rocks, candy cane pieces and sprinkles over white chocolate. Use as much or little as you want.
Chill for 10-15 minutes or until white chocolate hardens. Break apart into bite sized pieces. Enjoy!
