Ingredients

Scale

Popcorn

  • 8 cups popped popcorn (about ⅓ cup unpopped kernels)

Coating and Toppings

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for melting chocolate chips)
  • ½ cup pastel-colored candy-coated chocolates (such as M&Ms)
  • ½ cup mini marshmallows
  • ¼ cup sprinkles (Easter-themed or pastel)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Popcorn: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and evenly spread the popped popcorn across it, ensuring an even layer for coating.
  2. Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Heat in 20–30 second intervals, stirring after each until the mixture is completely smooth and melted.
  3. Coat the Popcorn: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the popcorn on the baking sheet. Gently toss or stir the popcorn to coat it evenly with the chocolate.
  4. Add Toppings: Immediately sprinkle the candy-coated chocolates, mini marshmallows, and Easter-themed sprinkles over the coated popcorn while the chocolate is still wet to ensure they stick well.
  5. Set the Candy Popcorn: Allow the popcorn to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until the white chocolate hardens completely.
  6. Serve and Store: Once set, break the popcorn into pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
