Tips:

  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to pop the popcorn. This will give the popcorn plenty of room to expand and prevent it from burning.
  • Add the oil and popcorn kernels to the pot and heat over medium-high heat. Swirl the pot constantly to ensure that the kernels are evenly coated with oil.
  • Once the popcorn starts to pop, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to swirl the pot. The popcorn should be done popping in 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and pour the popcorn into a large bowl. Add the melted white chocolate and stir until the popcorn is evenly coated.
  • Add the sprinkles and stir until they are evenly distributed.
  • Pour the popcorn onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let it cool completely.
  • Once the popcorn is cool, break it into pieces and store it in an airtight container.
