A quick and easy 5-ingredient snack that combines salty popcorn, sweet candy corn, and creamy white chocolate for a perfect sweet-and-salty treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups popped popcorn (air-popped or stovetop)
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup candy corn
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare 3 cups of popped popcorn and spread it out to cool slightly until warm or room temperature.
  2. Place white chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until smooth and glossy (about 1-2 minutes total). Do not overheat.
  3. Add the candy corn to the melted chocolate mixture and stir gently to combine.
  4. Pour the chocolate-candy corn mixture over the popcorn in a large mixing bowl.
  5. Using a silicone spatula, gently fold the mixture until every piece of popcorn is evenly coated. Avoid crushing the kernels.
  6. Spread the coated popcorn onto parchment-lined baking sheets in a single layer.
  7. Let the popcorn sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Alternatively, refrigerate for 5 minutes.
  8. Once hardened, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, break into clusters, and serve.

Notes

Ensure popcorn is warm or room temperature, not hot, to prevent the chocolate from melting too quickly and becoming greasy. Do not overheat the white chocolate as it can seize or scorch. Work in batches if making a large quantity to ensure even coating. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
