- 3 bags gourmet white microwave popcorn
- 24 ounces white candy melts (Wilton brand works great)
- 2 drops food coloring and/or flavoring , optional
- 8 ounces colored candy melts , optional
Spread a large piece of wax paper out on the counter top.
Pop three bags of microwave popcorn in the microwave according to the directions. Place popcorn in a large bowl and shake the bowl back and forth to get the un-popped kernels to the bottom of the bowl. Gently transfer the popped corn to another large bowl. Throw out the un-popped kernels (we don't want to break any teeth!)
Place the white candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power or defrost setting for 1 minute. Stir thoroughly, being sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. If the candy is not completely melted, microwave for another 30 seconds and stir again. Repeat this process until the white chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Place 1/4 of the melted candy in a separate bowl and set aside.
Pour the white chocolate over the popcorn and toss until the popcorn is covered. Spread the popcorn over the wax paper and let it cool. The white chocolate will harden and not melt on your hands when you pick it up.
Add food coloring and flavoring of your choice to the saved melted candy.
Using a fork, drizzle the colored candy over the white chocolate popcorn and let it cool.
Once cooled, the white chocolate popcorn can be kept in an airtight container or sealed plastic bag until ready to serve.
For extra coated popcorn
- Add all 24 ounces of white candy melts to the popped popcorn.
- Melt an 8 ounces bag of colored candy melts in the microwave using the same method as before.
- Using a fork, drizzle the colored candy over the white chocolate popcorn and let it cool.
