Description

This Christmas Popcorn is a festive treat that combines the crunch of freshly popped corn with a creamy, sweet coating. Each bite is a delightful explosion of buttery flavor, enhanced by the rich notes of white chocolate and a sprinkle of holiday spices, making it a perfect snack for cozy gatherings.

Ingredients

Popcorn: 1/2 cup unpopped kernels
Butter: 1/2 cup (1 stick), unsalted
White chocolate chips: 2 cups
Powdered sugar: 1 cup
Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
Holiday sprinkles: 1/2 cup (for decoration)

Instructions

Pop the popcorn kernels using an air popper or on the stovetop until you have about 12 cups of popped popcorn. Set aside in a large bowl.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate chips until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the melted mixture, stirring until well combined.
Pour the white chocolate mixture over the popcorn, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Spread the coated popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Sprinkle holiday sprinkles over the popcorn while the coating is still wet.
Allow the popcorn to cool completely before breaking it into clusters. Enjoy!

Notes

This popcorn can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to one week.
For a festive touch, consider adding crushed peppermint candies or nuts as a topping.
If you prefer dark chocolate, substitute white chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
