Christmas Popcorn
A fun and festive treat combining sweet and salty flavors, perfect for holiday celebrations.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 10-12 cups popped popcorn or ⅓ cup kernels, popped
- 1 10-12 oz bag white candy melts or white chocolate (melted)
- 2 cups mini pretzels optionally broken into pieces
- 10 oz Red and Green Christmas M&Ms regular, peanut, etc.
- 1/2 cup Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your kitchen to warmth and cheer! Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
Pop the Popcorn
- If using kernels, pop about ⅓ cup of them until you have approximately 10-12 cups of fluffy popcorn. Transfer to a very large mixing bowl.
Melt the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy melts or white chocolate in 30-second bursts, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth.
Combine Ingredients
- Pour the melted white chocolate over the popped popcorn and add half of the pretzels and half of the Christmas M&Ms. Fold gently to coat the popcorn with the chocolate.
Spread the Mixture
- Spread the chocolate-covered popcorn mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet quickly.
Sprinkle Festively
- Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle the remaining pretzels, M&Ms, and Christmas sprinkles over the popcorn. Gently press down to make sure they stick.
Let it Harden
- Allow the Christmas Crunch to cool at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, which usually takes about 30 minutes.
Break and Enjoy
- Once set, break the popcorn into pieces and serve immediately or store for later.
