Servings: 3 -4 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 5-7 lemon Oreos
- 1 bag microwave popcorn
- 6 oz white chocolate or white baking bark
- Yellow sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Crush the lemon Oreos in a food processor or food chopper.Pulse a few times to crush them.
- Pop the popcorn as you normally would in the microwave.
- Transfer the popped popcorn from the bag to a large mixing bowl, doing your best to avoid pouring unpopped kernels into the bowl*(see my notes on this!)
- Melt the white candy bark/white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave it for about 45 seconds, stir, and repeat until fully melted.
- Drizzle about 1/3 of the melted candy bark onto the popcorn, stir, and continue drizzling and stirring until the popcorn is evenly coated.
- Add crushed Oreos to the popcorn in intervals and stir until the popcorn is fully coated.
- Line a large cookie sheet with foil and then pour the candied popcorn onto the foil. Spread it out with the spoon/spatula you used to stir it.
- If you want to add yellow sprinkles, go ahead and put 'em on now!
- Place baking sheet with popcorn in refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to allow the candy bark to fully harden on the popcorn. It will eventually harden on its own if you leave the pan out on the counter, it'll just take a while!
- Remove from fridge, pull up both sides of the foil to make somewhat of a funnel and pour the popcorn into your serving dish(es) or into your storage bags/container if you're eating it later.
- Enjoy with family and friends!
Notes
Super helpful tips when making this popcorn:
- When you're moving the popcorn from the bag to the bowl, first, lightly shake the bag of popcorn up and down to help any un-popped kernels fall to the bottom of the bag. Then, using your hands, move the popcorn from the bag to the bowl so you can keep those kernels at the bottom of the bag and avoid transferring them to the bowl.
- You'll definitely want to melt the chocolate using the process I suggested - microwave for a short time, stir, repeat. If you don't microwave in short increments, and if you don't stir between increments, the white chocolate/baking bark doesn't melt correctly. It just gets clumpy!
- This recipe is only for one bag of popcorn, but when I make any version of white chocolate popcorn, I always make at least 2-3 bags of popcorn (so, I would always make at least 2-3x this recipe). Because it's so easy to share and eat, it goes fast!
