Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This is a fun treat that you will love. Popcorn and Fritos are covered in white chocolate and tossed with M&Ms. The perfect mix of salty and sweet. Change up the color of the M&Ms for a fun holiday treat.

It is easy to put together and is sure to be a crowd favorite!

How to Make White Chocolate Popcorn

  • Using an air popper or on the stove top, pop 8 cups of popped popcorn.  Remove any unpopped kernels.
  • Place popped corn into a large bowl and add in Fritos.
  • Melt a pound of white chocolate melts or almond bark in the microwave or in a double boiler on the stove top.

  • Pour melted mixture over the popcorn and Fritos and stir to coat.

  • Spread it out on a cookie sheet  or a piece of wax paper or parchment paper on the table and then sprinkle the top with the M&M’s while the chocolate is still wet and warm.
  • Allow to cool.  To quicken the cooling process you can put it into the refrigerator.  Let cool.
  • The white chocolate popcorn will stay fresh for  up to a week if you keep it in an airtight container.

This may seem like a strange combination but trust me on this one!  It’s addictive.

    Can I use microwave popcorn or does it need to be made the old-fashioned way with oil and popcorn in a covered pot on the stove?

      You can use microwave popcorn, just not one that is really buttery. Your popcorn may be a little salter if the popcorn is salted.

    I guess I could just ask you this question next Thursday when I see you at Women’s Conference, but I’m too impatient. Another blog had a similar recipe to yours here, but without the Fritos, which got me thinking…how much unpopped popcorn does it take to pop 8 cups of popped popcorn? Thanks- Patti

      Patti . I usually pop it in an air popper and use 1/3 c of popcorn kernals – makes about 6-8 cups depending on well they pop.
