kcalIngredients For Patriotic Popcorn Recipe
1/2 cup popcorn kernels (or 8 cups pre-popped popcorn)
12 ounces white chocolate, melted
1/2 cup red candy melts, melted
1/2 cup blue candy melts, melted
1 cup pretzels, broken into pieces
1 cup red, white, and blue M&M’s
1/4 cup red, white, and blue sprinkles
Step By Step Instructions For Patriotic Popcorn Recipe
- If using popcorn kernels, pop them according to the package instructions. Remove any unpopped kernels and place the popcorn in a large mixing bowl. If using pre-popped popcorn, measure out 8 cups and place it in the bowl.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Start with 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and melted.
- Pour the melted white chocolate over the popcorn. Gently toss the popcorn with a wooden spoon or spatula to coat it evenly with the chocolate. Make sure you avoid crushing the popcorn.
- Spread the chocolate-coated popcorn on a large parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt the red and blue candy melts in separate microwave-safe bowls following the same process as the white chocolate.
- Drizzle the melted red and blue candy melts over the popcorn in a zig-zag pattern, creating a beautiful mix of colors.
- While the candy melts are still warm, add the broken pretzel pieces and red, white, and blue M&M’s on top. Gently mix the ingredients to blend them thoroughly.
- Sprinkle the red, white, and blue sprinkles generously over the popcorn mix to add that extra festive touch.
- Allow the patriotic popcorn to cool and the candy melts to set for a few minutes.
- Once cooled and set, break the mix into smaller clusters and transfer it to a serving bowl or individual snack bags for easy munching.
