Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Using an air popper or large pot with a lid, pop the popcorn kernels. If using a pot, heat kernels with a small amount of oil over medium-high heat, shaking occasionally until popping slows down.
- Transfer the freshly popped popcorn to a large mixing bowl, ensuring any unpopped kernels are removed.
- Create a double boiler by placing a heat-safe bowl over a pot of simmering water. Ensure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
- Add white chocolate chips to the bowl and stir gently with a spatula until completely melted and smooth, being careful not to overheat.
- Pour the melted white chocolate over the popcorn, using a spatula to gently fold and coat the popcorn evenly.
- Quickly sprinkle salt and optional colorful sprinkles over the coated popcorn while the chocolate is still warm.
- Spread the chocolate-covered popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to cool and set.
- Allow the popcorn to cool at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
- Break into clusters and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality white chocolate chips for the smoothest melt and richest flavor.
- Be patient when melting chocolate - use low, steady heat to prevent burning.
- Work quickly when coating popcorn to ensure even distribution of chocolate.
- For extra crunch, ensure popcorn is completely cool before breaking into clusters.
- Experiment with different sprinkle colors for seasonal or themed variations.
- Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the chocolate's crisp texture.
- For a gourmet touch, try adding crushed nuts or drizzling with dark chocolate.
