Description
This easy-to-make Valentine’s Day Popcorn combines crunchiness with sweetness, perfect for sharing!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag popcorn (popped, kernels removed)
- ½ cup white candy melts
- ½ cup pink candy melts
- ¼ cup Valentine’s M&Ms
- 2 tbsp Valentine’s sprinkles
Instructions
- Start by laying out a large sheet of parchment or wax paper on your baking surface. This will help catch any excess candy and ensure easy cleanup after your delightful treat has set. It will also help prevent the popcorn from sticking, allowing you to enjoy every bite!
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy melts. Heat them in increments of 30 seconds, stirring in between until they are completely smooth and melted. This is key to achieving a perfect drizzle over the popcorn. Once the white chocolate is ready, you can move on to the next step.
- Now, take the freshly popped popcorn and place it into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the melted white candy over the popcorn, making sure to cover as much of the popcorn as you can. Use a spatula or large spoon to gently fold the popcorn, allowing the coating to evenly distribute. Next, toss in half of the Valentine’s sprinkles and M&Ms, mixing them into the popcorn for added flavor and texture.
- Repeat the melting process for the pink candy melts, ensuring they are smooth and ready to go. Pour the melted pink candy over the already prepared popcorn mixture. Again, gently fold to combine, ensuring that you’re coating the popcorn adequately without breaking it down. Sprinkle the remaining M&Ms and sprinkles onto the mixture, ensuring each piece has the festive flair of Valentine’s Day.
- It’s essential to allow the drizzled popcorn to set before serving. You can leave it on the baking surface for about 10-15 minutes or until the candy melts harden. Once set, break apart the popcorn into clusters for individual servings.
Notes
This popcorn is best enjoyed on the day it’s made, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to two days without losing their crunch.
