Valentine’s Day Popcorn Ingredients:
How To Make Valentine’s Day Popcorn:
Start out by air-popping your popcorn in an Air Popper Popcorn Maker!
Create a double burner using a small pan with boiling water and a Pyrex glass measuring cup.
Melt your almond bark in the measuring cup, making sure to keep the melting consistent by stirring with a spoon. The handle makes it easy to dip or pour when it has melted.
Be sure to avoid getting any water in your almond bark, or it will cease. Â
In a large bowl, drizzle the melted almond over the popped popcorn and then mix in your sprinkles!! Â You can also do this on a cookie sheet or parchment paper as well!
Let the popcorn set and then enjoy!! We put ours out on the patio table to cool off faster while we got things set up for the movie!
Frequently Asked Questions About Valentine’s Day Popcorn
- Can I use microwave popcorn instead of air-popped? Yes! You can use plain microwave popcorn or pre-popped popcorn. Just avoid butter-flavored varieties as they don’t work as well with the chocolate coating.
- What can I use instead of almond bark? White chocolate chips, candy melts, or melting chocolate all work great. Just heat slowly and stir often.
- How do I store Valentine’s Day popcorn? Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Keep away from heat and humidity to prevent the chocolate from melting.
- Can I make this ahead of time? Yes! Make it 2-3 days ahead and store in an airtight container. It’s perfect for preparing before class parties or events.
- What other holidays can I make this for? This recipe works for any occasion! Use red and green sprinkles for Christmas, orange and black for Halloween, pastels for Easter, or patriotic colors for July 4th.
