Description

Colorful Funfetti Popcorn brings carnival excitement to movie nights with its playful sprinkle-covered crunch. Crisp kernels dance with sweet rainbow confetti, creating a whimsical treat you’ll crave again and again.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 10 cups popped popcorn (about ½ cup unpopped kernels)
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (or candy melts)
  • ⅓ cup rainbow sprinkles

Seasoning Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Craft a pristine batch of popcorn using your preferred method, ensuring a crisp, airy base. Carefully distribute the kernels across a parchment-lined baking sheet, meticulously removing any unpopped stragglers.
  2. Create a velvety chocolate coating by gently melting white chocolate chips with butter in a microwave-safe vessel. Employ short bursts of heat, stirring between intervals until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform liquid. Infuse with a whisper of vanilla and a delicate touch of salt.
  3. Transform the popcorn into a decadent treat by cascading the molten chocolate mixture over the kernels. Employ a gentle folding technique to ensure each piece becomes gloriously enrobed in the creamy white chocolate.
  4. Introduce a jubilant burst of color by liberally showering rainbow sprinkles across the chocolate-coated popcorn. Employ a light touch to distribute the colorful confetti evenly, creating a visually stunning and festive coating.
  5. Allow the creation to rest and solidify at ambient temperature, giving the chocolate time to set into a crisp shell. For those craving immediate gratification, a brief chilling session in the refrigerator will expedite the process. Delicately separate any inadvertent clusters, presenting the treat in charming serving vessels or whimsical treat bags.

Notes

  • Customize popcorn texture by choosing between air-popped or stovetop methods for different crunchiness levels.
  • Prevent chocolate seizing by melting slowly and stirring frequently, ensuring smooth and consistent coating.
  • Experiment with sprinkle varieties like metallic, holiday-themed, or color-coordinated options to match special occasions or personal preferences.
  • Store in airtight containers at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain optimal crispness and flavor.
