This sweet and savory popcorn will have your sweetheart begging for more. It’s got all the things you love, a perfect combination: popcorn, chocolate, and m&ms!
Supplies for White Chocolate Popcorn:
- 8 cups popped popcorn Homemade Microwave Popcorn Recipe
- 1 cup melted white chocolate
- 1 cup m&m candies
- large mixing bowl
- spoons
First, pop your popcorn. I used the Homemade Microwave Popcorn recipe, then poured it into a large bowl. I popped two bags to make what you see above.
Pour your melted white chocolate on top and stir. Toss in your m&ms, and mix it all around, getting your m&ms distributed everywhere.
Let this sit at room temperature for a couple of hours to let the chocolate harden, or you can put it in the fridge for 20 minutes or so. Then it’s ready to grab and munch. You can put a few handfuls into cute cellophane bags wrapped with ribbon to give as a Valentine’s treat to your loved ones.

Enjoy!
There goes my diet! I have to stop on the way home for these ingredients!
I have made this for years, we add dry roasted peanuts and let it sit on a silpat mat to dry. Lovely gifts.
mmm…. I will be making this for a valentines day treat!! So FUN!
Allyson – Looks yummy. Thanks for sharing the link!
Denise – Sorry about the diet! :)
Cindy – I love the idea of adding in peanuts! Or even m&m peanuts!! Thanks for the suggestion.
Oh, wow! That looks like a great treat to give as a teacher gift! Yum!
i LOVE white chocolate popcorn. Maybe i will send my husband to the store to get some white chocolate so we can have some today!
What a great idea. I will be making this for sure but have to go to the store for supplies!
This looks yummy! how long does it last?
I think Bella bug and I will make some of these this weekend! How cute is this! I have this precious new kit I want to play with I think would be great to use with. Thanks for the inspiration!!
I needed an excuse for chocolate, so thank you!
Amanda – Good question, as we ate the above immediately! If you’re making this for teachers or neighbors, you could store it in a zip plastic bag or container for a couple of days. This popcorn is coated in chocolate, helping it from going stale too quick, but I wouldn’t let it sit too long.
This sounds so good! I saw this on Be Different, Act Normal. I will definately be making this for people!
Could you use the white candy coating (almond bark) instead of white chocolate? I have some left from Christmas and need to use it. Thanks!
Oh my ….. that looks delicious!!! Can’t wait to try it out!!!!!
This looks wonderful! I was looking for a different Valentine treat than the heart box chocolates. This is it!
Oh my. This looks absolutely delicious!
If I can remember to pick up some white chocolate and m&m’s the next time I’m at the store, this will be a perfect Valentine’s Treat!
Thanks for the great idea!

You’ve become my “go to” site for ideas ;-) My kids are handing out your Chocolate Dipped Cupid Hearts to classmates. And, now I need to send in a gluten-free party food for their classrooms and I’m thinking White Chocolate Popcorn with Valentine Candies would be perfect!
Thanks for all the great ideas!!!
Yum! I’m linking to you on my 10 for Tuesday post today!!! It was great meeting you!!!
So simple, so yummy, so cute! Love the rick-rack ties. Gotta find me some!
Yummy, salty and sweet – perfect!
Saw this on The Nester’s Tumblr and had to check it out. I’ve got almond bark left over from Christmas and popcorn. Off to raid the candy cabinet and see if there are any M&M’s up there. Sounds yummy. We make something called Floor Sweepings which is cheerios, chex, pretzel sticks, peanuts and M&Ms coated with white chocolate. Can’t wait to try the popcorn!
