White Chocolate Popcorn

Another hit from the other night was the White Chocolate Popcorn. It is also super easy to make.

Ingredients:

microwave popcorn

white chocolate squares (use the pre-cut 2 oz. squares found on baking aisle)

When it’s just me and Wade, I use a 100-calorie small popcorn packet and (1) 2 oz. square of chocolate. That’s a perfect amount for just us. Or you can use a regular size packet of popcorn and (2) 2 oz. squares, which will serve 4+ people.

Directions:

• Pop the popcorn according to directions.
• Melt the white chocolate square in the microwave 30 seconds at a time (usually 3 times). I also cut up the square before I put it in the microwave, so it melts easier and more even.
• Put half of popped popcorn in a plastic tub with lid.
• Pour half of melted chocolate over the popcorn.
• Pour rest of popcorn on top and remaining melted chocolate on top of that.
• Cover tub with lid and shake it up good to evenly distribute the chocolate.
• Pour all of it out and onto wax paper.
• Let sit for about 10 minutes to dry.
• Enjoy and be prepared to be addicted!

I used this as Halloween treats for Tate’s preschool teachers and will use them as little Christmas gifts for our neighbors. It’s easy to put in plastic goodie bags with a cute ribbon.
