Everyone will love this sweet and salty blend of popcorn coated in cake mix and white chocolate with sprinkles and candy tossed in!
Plus, I’m sharing some ideas below for how you can make this Christmas Popcorn recipe even more special!
How To Make Christmas Popcorn
Step 1: In a very large bowl, stir popcorn and cake mix together.
Step 2: Microwave the chocolate on 30 second intervals in a microwave safe bowl until melted and smooth, stirring between each one. Then, stir the melted chocolate into the popcorn bowl, reserving a little for the topping.
Step 3: Add in sprinkles and chocolate candies and stir until well mixed, spread popcorn out on a large pan that’s been lined with parchment paper or wax paper.
Step 4: Drizzle remaining melted white chocolate over the popcorn and top with extra holiday sprinkles. Let sit for 30 to 45 minutes, then package up in airtight containers or consume immediately.
- Instead of popping popcorn yourself on the stove or using microwave popcorn, save time by using bagged kettle corn!
- I use Sixlets in my mixture, but you could use M&M’s or another type of candy.
