Key Lime White Popcorn is the perfect combination of white chocolate and citrus. The addition of graham crackers to the popcorn gives you that key lime pie flavor!
I will pick a citrus flavor over chocolate any day! Don’t get me wrong, I love chocolate but I love citrus a bit more. But when I can have my citrus flavor with chocolate that is even better. Today’s recipe for Key Lime Popcorn makes it so I don’t have to choose!
Ingredients
Popcorn. I prefer to use popcorn done in the air popper but you can also use microwave popcorn. You need about 16 cups of popped corn.
White Chocolate. You can use white chocolate chips, almond bark (found in the baking aisle) or vanilla melts. I actually prefer the melts as they melt easier and smoother.
Graham Crackers. You can use graham cracker crumbs but I prefer broken up graham crackers so I have bigger pieces of cracker.
Lime extract and zest.
How to Make Key Lime Popcorn
- Melt Chocolate in the microwave or in a double boiler.
- Pour melted chocolate over popcorn. Stir to coat and then spread on a parchment paper baking sheet or counter.
- While it is still wet sprinkle your crushed graham cracker crumbs over the top.
- Melt the remaining chocolate, add some green food coloring and drizzle over the popcorn.
- Allow to set up.
Once it is set up you can then break it up into pieces and enjoy!
How Long Will White Chocolate Popcorn Last?
Not very long at our house! But if you store it in an airtight container it will last for a couple of weeks. You just better hide it somewhere!!

This recipe sounds very good. However as a Certified Aromatherapist I would suggest you not use the essential oil. Ingesting essential oils can cause many problems unless you are taking them under the care of a doctor. Aromatherapists in the U.S. do not recommend ingesting essential oils.

I appreciate your comment Carol but I use doTERRA Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils and they are totally safe to take internally.
