Equipment
- 1 Medium pot
- 1 9x11 pan
- 1 Parchment paper piece
- 1 Ziploc bag or piping bag
Ingredients
- ½ cup Popcorn kernels
- ⅓ cup Salted butter melted
- 1½ cups Blue white chocolate melting chips (Blue candy melts)
- 1 cup Sprinkles
Instructions
- In a pot, melt the ½ cup of butter down. Throw in one kernel of popcorn and keep over medium heat until that kernel pops on medium high heat.
- This is how you know the butter is hot enough and the rest of the kernels can be added to the pot.
- After you have added the rest of the kernels, keep over medium heat with the lid on top and let sit until a few kernels begin to pop.
- It will soon start rapidly popping and you want to shake the pan side to side while the kernels are popping to prevent the popcorn from burning.
- As the pops begin to slow down, turn off the heat. Shake on the stove a bit longer while the rest of the lingering kernels pop.
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pour the popcorn on the baking sheet and spread evenly.
- Melt the blue melting chocolate chips in the microwave at 30 second intervals until you mix and it is completely smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate in a piping bag or ziploc bag and snip the end.
- Drizzle the chocolate all over the popcorn and immediately add the mermaid sprinkle mix on top of the warm chocolate.
- Place in the refrigerator or freezer for 10 minutes so the chocolate can harden.
- Break apart the popcorn in pieces and serve!
