How To Make Sweet & Salty St. Patrick’s Day Puffcorn
INGREDIENTS
1 bag Wilton’s white candy melts, vanilla almond bark or white chocolate chips
One bag of puffcorn (brand of your choice, any brand will work, my favorite is Chester’s Butter Puffcorn )
Shamrock edible confetti or green Shamrock edible confetti
Parchment paper or wax paper
DIRECTIONS
- On a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper lay out puffcorn in one layer. Reynolds baking sheets work very well for this recipe.
- One bag of puffcorn can be spread out over two cookie or baking sheets.
- Use the microwave to melt your white chocolate or white candy melts. Start with microwaving the chocolate on high in 30 second intervals and then 15 second intervals.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the puffcorn.
- The amount is personal preference. I find a wooden spoon works best to drizzle.
- Liberally sprinkle the shamrocks or jimmies over the puffcorn.
- Store the decorated Shamrock Puffcorn on the counter for at least 15 minutes to set or do a quick set in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
- Slide the cookie sheet as is into the refrigerator.
- Once the the chocolate has set break apart the puffcorn into bite size puffs.
