A colorful and festive popcorn mix perfect for celebrations, blending crunchy popcorn with sweet candies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cut into pieces)
  • 10 cups popped popcorn (freshly popped)
  • 1/4 cup red candies (mini M&Ms or candy-coated chocolates)
  • 1/4 cup white candies (mini M&Ms or candy-coated chocolates)
  • 1/4 cup blue candies (mini M&Ms or candy-coated chocolates)
  • 2 tbsp sprinkles (red, white, blue)

Instructions

  1. Set a large pot over medium heat and add the butter pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts completely and begins to bubble, about 2 minutes.
  2. Pour the melted butter over the freshly popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl. Use a spatula to gently toss and coat all the popcorn evenly with the butter.
  3. Add the red, white, and blue candies to the coated popcorn. Fold them in gently, distributing the colorful candies evenly throughout the popcorn mixture.
  4. Transfer the popcorn mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread it out into an even layer using a spatula.
  5. Sprinkle the red, white, and blue sprinkles evenly over the top of the popcorn.
  6. Allow the popcorn to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes, letting the butter set slightly and the flavors meld. Once cooled, break into clusters if needed and serve.
