My son and I had so much fun making this colorful and delicious White Chocolate Valentine's Day Popcorn for a Valentine's Day party that we are attending tomorrow. We also made some for him to give out to his friends. It was quick and easy to make and he had a blast doing it (although, I think he enjoyed sampling it over and over again more!)!
After our popcorn cooled, I broke the popcorn up and put it into cupcake wrappers.
The cupcake wrappers added a festive glare and they served up individual servings, which limits little fingers from touching it all. With 20 kids under the age of 5 running around, every little bit helps!!
We also put some in decorative Valentine's goodie bags to give out to friends for Valentine's Day.
White Chocolate Valentine's Popcorn
Ingredients
- 16 ounces white chocolate
- 4 bags popped microwave popcorn (feel free to pop your own)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- sprinkles and/or non perils
- conversation hearts (optional but cute add for Valentine's Day)
Directions:
Heat white chocolate in the microwave or a double boiler until melted. I melted my chocolate in the microwave in less than 2 minutes.
Place the popcorn in a large bowl, and pour the melted chocolate over it. Use a spoon to toss the popcorn gently until it is evenly coated with the white chocolate. Spread the popcorn out evenly on a baking sheet covered with wax paper. Sprinkle evenly with the salt, then sprinkle with sprinkles, non perils, and conversation hearts.
Let cool for 15 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened. Break up into small pieces then serve or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
