We’re just a few weeks away from St. Patrick’s Day, so today we are getting all ready and preparing our home before the Leprechaun arrives and making our favorite treat – St. Patrick’s Day Popcorn!
This is the perfect treat to send your little Leprechauns to school with or to serve at your St. Patty’s Day party! This sweet and salty festive snack will be thoroughly enjoyed by kids and adults alike and only requires a few simple ingredients – your favorite popcorn (I usually opt for Skinny Pop to save on those cals somewhere-ha), white chocolate, green food coloring, green sprinkles, and the green candy of your liking! Green M&M’s is always a favorite, but this year I opted for green candy corn that I picked up at our local Central Market (I also found some on Amazon here).
Mix these all up and 5 minutes later you have a festive dessert and are holiday ready! Check out the full recipe below!
- 8 cups of popcorn
- 2 cups melted white chocolate (divided)
- 3 tsp green food coloring
- Green or St. Patrick's Day sprinkles
- Green Candy (M&Ms, Candy Corn, etc.)
- Cover a baking/cookie pan with parchment paper and spread popcorn evenly across.
- Melt white chocolate according to package directions.
- Separate the melted white chocolate evenly into two cups.
- In one cup of the melted white chocolate, add one drop of green food coloring. Repeat until you have achieved your desired shade of green.
- Drizzle the melted green chocolate candy over the popcorn and toss to coat (use a silicone spatula to ensure you get it all out.) Toss the popcorn with your hands until fully coated. Repeat with melted white chocolate.
- Sprinkle with St. Patrick's Day themed or green sprinkles.
- Add your green candy on top and toss.
- Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
