Ingredients
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- ½ cup salted butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups blue white chocolate melting chips
- Mermaid sprinkles
Instructions
- Start by melting the salted butter in your pot. Now, here’s a little trick: toss in one popcorn kernel. This is your test kernel! Keep the pot over medium heat until that kernel pops. Once it pops, you know your butter is hot enough for the rest of the kernels.
- Add the remaining popcorn kernels to the pot, cover it with a lid, and keep it on medium heat. You’ll hear a few pops, and then the real fun begins! As the kernels start popping rapidly, give the pot a gentle shake from side to side. This keeps the popcorn from burning and ensures even popping.
- When the popping slows down, turn off the heat. Give it a good shake one last time to pop any lingering kernels. Carefully transfer the freshly popped popcorn onto your prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading it out evenly.
- Now comes the fun part! Melt the blue white chocolate chips in the microwave. Heat them in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and creamy. Pour the melted chocolate into your piping bag or Ziploc bag and snip the end. Drizzle the chocolate all over the popcorn, letting your creativity shine!
- Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your mermaid sprinkle mix generously over the popcorn. It’s all about that ocean-inspired sparkle!
- Place your colorful popcorn in the refrigerator or freezer for about 10 minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden. This is the perfect time to daydream about mermaids and ocean adventures!
- Once the chocolate has set, break apart the popcorn into delicious pieces. Serve it up in a big bowl and get ready for some happy munching!
