White Chocolate Popcorn Deluxe Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. (Watch it closely if you use the microwave).
• Microwave 2 bags of popcorn or pop about 7 oz. popcorn kernels.
• In a large tub, (or 2 large bowls) drizzle melted white chocolate over popcorn. Mix and fluff as you go. Your looking for a light coat of chocolate on the popcorn -- too much will make the popcorn soggy and spongy.
• Let popcorn cool in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens. This is a great time to scoop servings of the popcorn into large ziplock baggys for easy storage.
• **Try bringing this to the party/couch/campout/slumberparty and letting your guest discover that it's not ordinary popcorn on their own ;) It's the greatest 1/2 a sec. in your life before you figure out what's goin' on.

Steps:

• Pop 1 popcorn package at a time in the microwave on high until popping begins to slow down, about 2 1/2 minutes. Open bags carefully and transfer popcorn to a large plastic bag, discarding any burnt pieces or unpopped kernels.
• Melt white chocolate chips with butter in top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula, until mixture is creamy, about 5 minutes.
• Drizzle melted chocolate over popcorn. Close bag and shake until thoroughly coated, 3 to 4 minutes. Place in the refrigerator to cool, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Place popcorn in a large bowl. In a microwave, melt white chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Pour over popcorn mixture and toss to coat. Add the cranberries, nuts and salt., Spread onto waxed paper. Cool until set. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Put the popcorn kernels and oil in a large, wide pot, stir to coat, cover and heat over medium heat. Once you begin to hear the kernels pop, shake the pot until the popping subsides, about 8 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, and transfer the popcorn to a large bowl.
• Bring a couple inches of water to a high simmer in a large saucepan. Set into the saucepan a bowl that fits snugly without touching the water. Add the chocolate, butter, vanilla and salt, and heat, stirring occasionally, until all the chocolate and butter melts. (The fat from the chocolate and butter will separate, and that's OK.) Remove the bowl from the saucepan, and vigorously whisk in the sugar. The mixture should come together and be thick and creamy.
• Pour the chocolate coating over the popcorn, add the sprinkles, then use your hands to toss the popcorn and evenly coat it with the white chocolate. Spread the popcorn out onto a baking sheet to let the coating set up, about 30 minute. (The popcorn can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature overnight.)

Steps:

• Line 2 baking sheets with waxed paper.
• Place the peppermint candies in a large resealable plastic bag. Crush with a rolling pin until you have a mix of smaller chunks and crumbs. Set aside.
• Place the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in increments of 15 to 30 seconds (this will depend on your microwave), stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth.
• Place the kettle corn in a large bowl. Pour the white chocolate mixture over the popcorn and fold with a spatula until evenly coated. Transfer the popcorn to the lined baking sheets in a single layer. Working quickly, sprinkle the popcorn with the crushed peppermint candies, mini chocolate chips, red and green sprinkles and red and green sanding sugar. You can you use more or less of each topping based on what you like.
• Allow the popcorn to dry to the touch, about 15 minutes, before packing in bags as gifts or storing in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Have a cookie sheet lined with wax paper prepared in advance.
• In a double boiler melt the white chocolate. While the chocolate is melting pop the popcorn. If you're using them, stir the crystals into the chocolate until they dissolve.
• ***If you're using a popcorn maker then pour your popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl and pour the chocolate over the popcorn; shake and lightly toss to get an even coating.
• *** If you're using a bag of popcorn pour the chocolate into the bag of popped popcorn and hold the bag closed with your hands; shake the bag to coat evenly.
• Pour the popcorn evenly onto the wax paper, if you want to use pretty or seasonal sprinkles now's the time. Allow to dry, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except chocolate in large bowl.
• Add chocolate; toss to evenly coat popcorn mix. Spread onto baking sheet.
• Refrigerate 10 min. or until chocolate coating is firm.
