Instructions
Creating this fabulous 4th of July Popcorn is a breeze with the following steps:
1. Prepare the Popcorn: Pop your popcorn according to the instructions, ensuring no unpopped kernels remain. Place it in a large mixing bowl.
2. Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
3. Drizzle White Chocolate: Drizzle melted white chocolate over the popped popcorn. Toss gently to coat evenly.
4. Melt the Red Candy: In a separate bowl, melt the red candy melts using the same method as the white chocolate. Drizzle over the popcorn.
5. Melt the Blue Candy: Repeat the process with the blue candy melts and drizzle it over the popcorn.
6. Add Marshmallows and Sprinkles: While the chocolate is still wet, fold in the mini marshmallows and sprinkle decorations to enhance the colorful look.
7. Season with Salt: Sprinkle sea salt to taste, balancing sweetness with a hint of saltiness.
8. Spread on a Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the popcorn mixture evenly to cool.
9. Let It Set: Allow the popcorn to set for about 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
10. Break Apart and Serve: Once set, break the popcorn into pieces and serve in bowls or clear bags for easy sharing.
Using these steps, you’ll have a stunning 4th of July Popcorn ready for all your festivities!
