Ingredients
– 1 cup popcorn kernels (popped)
– 1 cup white chocolate chips
– 1 cup red candy melts
– 1 cup blue candy melts
– 1/3 cup sprinkles (red, white, and blue)
– 10 lollipop sticks or pretzel rods
– Sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
Follow these easy steps to make your Patriotic Popcorn Pops:
1. Pop the Popcorn: Start by popping the popcorn kernels according to the package instructions. Set aside in a large bowl.
2. Melt the Chocolate: In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the white chocolate chips, red candy melts, and blue candy melts. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
3. Combine Popcorn and Chocolate: Divide the popped popcorn into three bowls. Pour the melted white chocolate over one bowl, mixing until the popcorn is evenly coated.
4. Add Colors: Pour the melted red candy melts over the second bowl and the blue candy melts over the third, mixing until all the popcorn is coated.
5. Prepare the Sticks: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take a lollipop stick or pretzel rod and dip one end into the melted white chocolate, then insert it into the popcorn mixture. Repeat with the red and blue popcorn.
6. Shape the Pops: Using your hands, mold the coated popcorn around the stick to create a pop shape. Ensure the popcorn adheres well.
7. Sprinkle: Before the coating hardens, sprinkle red, white, and blue sprinkles on the popcorn pops for a festive touch.
8. Cool Down: Place the completed pops on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow them to cool for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate sets.
9. Serve: Once set, your Patriotic Popcorn Pops are ready to be served!
