This festive Christmas Cake Popcorn combines sweet kettle corn with white cake mix and melted white chocolate, topped with colorful sprinkles and chocolate candies for a delightful holiday treat that’s perfect for parties and gift-giving.

Ingredients

Scale

Popcorn Base

  • 12 cups kettle corn (room temperature)
  • ½ cup white cake mix powder

Chocolate Coating

  • 16 oz. white chocolate, melted

Toppings

  • ½ cup sprinkles
  • 1 cup chocolate candies

Instructions

  1. Combine popcorn and cake mix: In a very large bowl, gently stir together the 12 cups of kettle corn and ½ cup of white cake mix powder until evenly coated, ensuring the cake mix is distributed throughout the popcorn.
  2. Melt the white chocolate: Place the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  3. Mix chocolate with popcorn: Pour most of the melted white chocolate into the popcorn mixture, reserving a small amount for drizzling later. Stir well to coat the popcorn evenly with the chocolate.
  4. Add sprinkles and candies: Fold in ½ cup of sprinkles and 1 cup of chocolate candies, ensuring they are well distributed throughout the popcorn mixture.
  5. Spread and drizzle: Spread the popcorn mixture out evenly on a large pan lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Drizzle the remaining melted white chocolate over the top and sprinkle with extra holiday sprinkles for a festive finish.
  6. Set and serve: Allow the popcorn to sit at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes to let the chocolate harden. Once set, package the popcorn in airtight containers or enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use room temperature kettle corn to prevent the melted chocolate from hardening too quickly when mixed.
  • Be careful not to overheat the white chocolate to avoid seizing; stir well between microwave intervals.
  • This popcorn treat is best consumed within a few days when stored in airtight containers.
  • You can substitute the chocolate candies with any small festive candy of your choice.
