Steps:
- Pop the bag of popcorn and remove the unpopped kernels.
- Place the white chocolate candy melts in microwave safe bowl or glass measuring cup.
- Microwave candy melts for 30 seconds then stir, repeat in 10-20 second intervals until melted and smooth. It only took about a minute total in my microwave.
- Drizzle over the bowl of popped popcorn and toss to coat, use your hands if necessary to ensure a nice coating. Then spread the coated popcorn out onto a large serving platter (or a baking tray/cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper , if you are going to bag the popcorn up after). Toss on a few holiday sprinkles. They will adhere while the candy is still warm.
- Melt each of the drizzle packs and drizzle over the platter of popcorn, immediately top with more sprinkles and a generous amount of the Christmas M & Ms.
- Allow the Christmas popcorn to cool before serving or packaging for later use.

Tips:
- Choose the right popcorn kernels. Mushroom or butterfly popcorn kernels are best for this recipe because they have a large surface area for the chocolate to adhere to.
- Use a large pot. This will give the popcorn plenty of room to pop and prevent it from burning.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many kernels, they won't pop properly and you'll end up with a lot of unpopped kernels.
- Shake the pot constantly. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the popcorn from burning.
- Remove the popcorn from the heat as soon as it starts to pop. This will prevent it from overcooking and becoming tough.
- Let the popcorn cool completely before adding the chocolate. This will help the chocolate to set properly.
- If you don't have white chocolate chips, you can use semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips. Just be sure to adjust the amount of sugar you add to the recipe accordingly.
- Feel free to add other toppings to your white chocolate popcorn. Some popular options include crushed candy canes, sprinkles, or nuts.
Conclusion:
White chocolate popcorn is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any holiday party. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a sweet and salty snack, give this recipe a try.
