Ingredients
- 8 cups white popcorn
- 2 ounces red melting chocolate
- 2 ounces green melting chocolate
- 4 ounces white melting chocolate
- 6 mini frosted oatmeal cookies
- 6 mini chocolate chip cookies
- Multicolor candy-coated chocolates
- Christmas sprinkle mix
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet or tray with parchment paper. Spread your popcorn evenly across the surface so it’s ready for topping.
- Take your mini cookies and break them into halves or thirds. Set them aside so they’re ready to sprinkle over the popcorn later.
- Place your white, red, and green candy melts in separate microwave-safe bowls. Heat each in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Pour the melted white chocolate evenly over the popcorn. Use a spatula or clean hands to gently toss and coat so every piece has a sweet layer.
- Drizzle the red and green melted chocolates over the coated popcorn in zig-zag lines. This gives the mix that festive, holiday look.
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle on the cookie pieces, candy-coated chocolates, and festive sprinkles. Press down lightly so they stick to the chocolate.
- Place the tray on a flat surface and let the popcorn sit for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
- Once the chocolate is set, break the popcorn into clusters. Transfer to bowls, jars, or gift bags for serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Use Fresh Popcorn: Old or stale popcorn can make the mix chewy instead of crunchy. Freshly popped works best.
Even Coating: Toss the popcorn gently but thoroughly when adding the white chocolate so every piece has some sweetness.
Work Quickly: Add the cookies, sprinkles, and candies while the chocolate is still wet so everything sticks in place.
Gift-Friendly: This recipe looks adorable when packed into jars or clear treat bags with a ribbon - perfect for holiday gifts.
