  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  •  1/2 cup popcorn kernels
  • 1/4 cup red candy melts
  • 1/4 cup white candy melts
  • 1/4 cup blue candy melts
  • 1/4 cup M&Ms (preferably red, white, and blue)
  • 1 tbsp sprinkles (stars and stripes themed if available)

Instructions

  1. Pop the Corn: Air Popper: Use an air popper to pop the 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. Microwave: Alternatively, place the popcorn kernels in a brown paper bag, fold the top over a few times to seal it, and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until the popping slows to about 5 seconds between pops.
  3. Prepare the Candy Melts: Place the red, white, and blue candy melts in separate microwave-safe bowls. Microwave each bowl for 1 minute, stir, and continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted. Transfer each color to a separate small piping bag or a zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off for drizzling.
  4. Assemble the Patriotic Popcorn: Spread the popped popcorn on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the melted red, white, and blue candy melts over the popcorn in a back-and-forth motion.
  5. While the candy is still melted, sprinkle the M&Ms and decorative sprinkles evenly over the popcorn to ensure they stick.
  6. Let It Set: Allow the candy melts to harden at room temperature, which should take about 15-20 minutes. You can also place the tray in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to speed up the hardening process.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once the candy has set, break the popcorn into clusters. Serve in a large bowl or distribute into individual serving bags for a party.
