Ingredients
1 bag (6–8 oz) puffcorn or popped popcorn (butter-flavored puffcorn works best)
1 cup white chocolate chips (or white candy melts)
1 teaspoon vegetable oil or coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
1/2 cup holiday sprinkles (red, green, or any festive mix)
1/2 cup mini marshmallows (optional, adds extra texture)
1/4 cup crushed candy canes (optional, for a peppermint twist)
Optional Add-Ins: Pretzels, nuts, or festive M&Ms for added variety
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Puffcorn or Popcorn
Spread the puffcorn or popcorn on a large baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.
If using traditional popcorn, remove any unpopped kernels to ensure the munch is safe to eat.
Step 2: Melt the White Chocolate
Combine the white chocolate chips and oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave in 15–20 second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
Pro Tip: Avoid overheating the chocolate to prevent it from seizing.
Step 3: Coat the Puffcorn/Popcorn
