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 guaranteed to become one of your favorite snacks!

Ingredients Needed

  • Popped popcorn, make sure to remove any unpopped kernels. I use my airpopper to make the popcorn.
  • White chocolate, almond bark, melts or use white chocolate chips
  • Frito Corn Chips
  • M&Ms

How to Make White Chocolate Frito Popcorn

  • Using an air popper or a pan on the stove top, pop 8 cups of popped popcorn.  Remove any unpopped popcorn kernels.
  • Place popped corn into a large bowl and add in Fritos.

  • Melt a pound of white chocolate melts or almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave or use a double boiler on the stove top.

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

  • Spread it in a single layer 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.

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

Tips

  • Make sure to remove any unpopped kernals from the popcorn before coating in white chocolate.
  • You can easily change up the mix by adding peanuts, pretzels, or your favorite candy.
