Servings 10
Ingredients
- 1 bag Puffcorn regular or buttered flavor
- 1 bag white candy melts or 12 oz. white chocolate chips or 12 oz. vanilla almond bark
- Valentine's jimmies, hearts and sprinkles
Instructions
- Lay out puffcorn in one layer on a parchment or wax paper lined cookie sheet or my new favorite Reynolds baking sheets. Leave a slight space between each puffcorn. I use two cookie sheets for one bag of puffcorn.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave. If you haven't melted chocolate in the microwave, try a test batch first to judge how long it takes to melt the chocolate with your microwave brand and wattage.
- Lightly sprinkle the chocolate or bark over the puffcorn; do not pour. I use a wooden spoon and drizzle the chocolate over the puffcorn.
- Using the decoration of your choice, liberally sprinkle the decorations over the puffcorn.
- The mixture needs to set either on the countertop or can be put into refrigerator for a quick set; 10 minutes in the refrigerator is adequate.
- Break apart the puffcorn into bite size or hand size portions.
Notes
This is a flexible recipe depending upon your preference for how heavily to coat the puffcorn with candy melts/white chocolate. You want to drizzle enough chocolate to add taste and that the decorations adhere to the puffcorn, but not overload the puffcorn with the sweet topping. The salty puffcorn and sweet flavors should each shine.
