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.

So glad you found the link again too. Love the idea of adding in some rice krispies! I’m making cookies today and am going to add some rice krispies into the dough! I love crunch in my food

I can not wait to make this, I ran across it a few weeks ago and then misplaced the link. So glad I found it (but now I have to go buy more Fritos) I have told so many people about this, I have been told that some toss rice krispies in for extra crunch also!

Wow! I made something similar to this for a bunco party. I mixed popcorn, fritos, bugles, and Kix cereal. Anything that is corn flavored. The white chocolate coating brings it all together. The bowl was gone before the game ended!
