Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 cups popped popcorn (about 1/2 cup unpopped kernels)
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or candy melts (for coating)
  • 1/2 cup pink candy melts
  • 1/2 cup blue candy melts
  • 1/2 cup yellow candy melts
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Sprinkles (optional, for extra color and fun)

Instructions

  • Pop the Popcorn: Pop the popcorn using your preferred method (stovetop, air-popper, or microwave). Remove any unpopped kernels and place the popcorn in a large mixing bowl.
  • Melt the Candy Coating: In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the white, pink, blue, and yellow candy melts. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted. Add the butter, vanilla extract, and salt to the white chocolate, stirring until smooth and well combined.
  • Coat the Popcorn: Drizzle each of the melted candy coatings over the popcorn. Start with the white chocolate coating, then add the colored candy melts in random sections to create the prismatic effect. Toss the popcorn gently to ensure even coverage, but do not overmix – the colors should remain vibrant and separate.
  • Form the Clusters: Once the popcorn is coated, use your hands or a spoon to form small clusters by gently pressing together small portions of the popcorn. Make sure the clusters are loose enough to maintain the airy texture but compact enough to hold together.
  • Let the Clusters Set: Place the clusters on a lined baking sheet to cool and harden for about 30 minutes to an hour. If desired, sprinkle some colorful sprinkles over the clusters while they are still slightly soft for added texture and color.
  • Serve: Once fully set, serve the Prismatic Glow Popcorn Clusters in bowls or bags for a fun snack or party treat!

Notes

  • Use any color candy melts to match the theme of your party or occasion (e.g., red and green for Christmas, pink and white for Valentine’s Day).
  • You can also add additional mix-ins like mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, or even chopped candy bars to make it even more indulgent.
  • The clusters can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
