Print Recipe

A quick and festive popcorn snack featuring white chocolate and red and blue sprinkles, perfect for patriotic celebrations and last-minute parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels (makes roughly 12 cups popped; microwave popcorn can be used as a shortcut)
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup red sprinkles
  • 1/4 cup blue sprinkles
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: a few drops of vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Pop the popcorn kernels in a large pot over medium heat with 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Cover with a lid and shake occasionally to prevent burning. When popping slows (about 5 minutes), transfer popcorn to a large bowl, removing unpopped kernels.
  2. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler. Add a pinch of sea salt and vanilla extract if using.
  3. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the popcorn and gently fold with a spatula or wooden spoon to coat evenly without breaking kernels.
  4. Immediately sprinkle red and blue sprinkles over the coated popcorn. Spread popcorn on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let chocolate set for about 15 minutes at room temperature or 5 minutes in the fridge.
  5. Once chocolate is firm, break apart any clumps and transfer to a serving bowl. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Notes

Use fresh popcorn kernels for best results. Melt chocolate slowly in short bursts to avoid burning. Drizzle chocolate slowly and fold gently to prevent clumping. Add sprinkles while chocolate is still wet. Store popcorn in a cool, dry place; avoid refrigeration to keep it crisp. For vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
