Ingredients

  • 10 cups Popped Popcorn
  • 1 cup White Chocolate Wafers
  • cup Red Chocolate Wafers
  • cup Blue Chocolate Wafers
  • ½ cup M&Ms red, white and blue mix
  • 6 packages Pop Rocks Candy red or blue
  • 2 Tablespoons Sprinkles red, white and blue

Instructions

  • Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pop enough popcorn to make about 10 cups, removing the unpopped popcorn kernels. Transfer to a large bowl and allow to cool.
  • While the popcorn cools, melt the white, red, and blue chocolate wafer melts in separate microwave-safe bowls. Heat on high for about 30 seconds at a time, stirring between until completely melted and smooth.
  • Drizzle the melted white chocolate onto the popcorn, stirring gently until the popcorn is evenly coated. Spread the white chocolate coated popcorn onto your prepared baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle the pop rocks onto the popcorn, mixing gently with your hands to spread evenly. Next, use a fork or spoon to drizzle the melted red and blue chocolates onto the popcorn. Finally, add the M&Ms and the sprinkles.
  • Place the popcorn in a cool place and allow it to set completely, then break apart gently using your hands. Serve in a large bowl, or in small single-serve cups. Enjoy!
