White Chocolate popcorn
Popping your own popcorn could not be easier. You just need the pop corn kernels, a paper bag and 3-4 minutes of your time……THAT IS IT!! You don’t need to buy none of those unhealthy versions out there….trust me….this is way better.
My daughter’s birthday its just around the corner so I am figuring out what sort of treats to make for the kids. The theme is of course pink so the cake and some of the goodies I want to make are going to be pink.
I think I will probably make some sugar cookies and some pink chocolate covered pretzels…will see.
These chocolate pop corn its just AWESOME. It is not going to be the last time I make this, for sure, since it is so good and super easy to make.
Anyhow, this is really good. You can even try it with dark chocolate or any other chocolate of your choice. You could even get more creative and add some other things to the mix….why not!
Enjoy!!
I used the white chocolate baking bar plus some white chocolate chips for the melted chocolate. On the right picture you can see that all you need to pop corn is the actual kernels and a paper bag…… SO SO EASY!
The left picture is right after getting the pop corn out of the microwave. The right picture is right after mixing in the melted white chocolate into the pop corn.
You could make the pop corn what ever color you prefer.
PrintWhite Chocolate popcorn
Yield: 6 servings
Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup pop corn kernels, unpopped
4 oz white chocolate baking bar, I used Ghirardelli
6 oz white chocolate chips, I used Ghriardelli brand
1 drop pink food coloring, optional
Directions:
In a paper bag, like in the picture, place popcorn kernels and fold top of the bag twice.
Place it in the microwave and set to high for 3 to 3 and half minutes. Listen carefully for when kernels stop popping. As soon as the popping stops, take the bag out of the microwave. (Mine took about 3 minutes 15 seconds, my microwave is not to powerful).
Place popcorn in a baking sheet and lay flat to cool.
On a double boiler melt chocolate. When the chocolate is melted add 1 drop of food coloring and mix through. Pour chocolate over the popcorn and with your clean hands mix chocolate through.
Set aside until chocolate sets and serve.
Nutrition facts calculated based on the recipe giving 4 servings. Notice the D+ rating. That is what chocolate does for you but I am ok with it :-) As long as you don’t eat the entire batch, once in a while it is ok to indulge!!

This looks so delicious! I shared it in my collection of 37 White Chocolate Recipes to try http://kristendukephotography.com/37-delicious-white-chocolate-recipes/#comments
Popcorn is my FAV and this looks delish!
I don’t see the photo of the paper bag. Is the paper bag a good ole school paper lunch bag or something larger? I plan to make for my daughter’s bday party which will have 6 little girls and their mothers. Just trying to sort out how much of each ingredient to purchase. Thanks!
It is just one of the school paper lunch bags :-) I hope the girls like them!!
can I make this 4 days in advance for my lil girl bday party
That much time in advance I am not sure. It may get a bit stale. I would say maybe two days at most. I hope this helps. Thanks for visiting my blog!!
How soon in advance can I make these? Is 5 days too early if I keep them in a large tightly-sealed ziplock bag?
I think they will become stale even if you place it on a zip log bag. Try w/ plain regular store bought pop corn and see what happens. Thanks for stopping by!!
How do you get your white chocolate not to melt? and how do you stop your popcorn from go soggy?
I tried your recipe and my popcorn wasn’t crunchy
What you mean not to melt? The popcorn will become not soggy but a bit chewy. When you mix it in with the warm chocolate is losses a bit of the crunchiness but it is still good in my book. If you like just wait a little bit to cool the chocolate for a few minutes, 10 maybe, before mixing so it does not get so soggy. Thanks for stopping by.
Chocolate is one of the most enjoyable and effective ways to medicate.Full Melt chocolates are organic fair trade premier brand of medicated chocolate bars.
I am curious why you use 2 different forms of white chocolate. Why not just use 10 oz. of the bar or 10 oz. of chips?
You can do that if you like. It would work :-)
So do not waste extra time and browse more bellow about how to download this hack tool.
How long does this last I was wanting to make it for my wedding Could I make it in the Saturday and would it last till Monday without going soggy?
I think if you keep it in an airtight container without any air getting to it it may be fine!
I’m struggling to find paper bags to do this, would I buy grease proof paper bags online? Do I also put the kernels in the bag then microwave x
Do you use plain white popcorn or butter popcorn? And would just microwavable bags of popcorn work?
I use plain popcorn. I think yes, that will work :-)
Thank you for sharing the recipe. It’s delicious and a big hit I add pecans, pecan pieces with the popcorn and cover it all with the chocolate. My only problem with it…….it’s hard to stop eating it. Sooo good!!
Using this for my brother’s shower. Making it teal and purple instead however since that’s the color scheme for the party as the mother requested.
Okay guys just an fyi don’t put your hands in the chocolate and start mixing directly after you’ve pouring it out. I burnt the crap out of my fingers. Also Ghiralldi melting chips work very well
Why is the popcorn mixture still sticky??? I thought it would be firm.
It should have been firm. My completely firmed up. Maybe you used a different chocolate? Sorry it didn’t turn out like you expected.
Can I use a popcorn maker instead?
I am sure :-)
No oil at all with the popcorn? Just the popcorn in the bag?
