I’ll admit, I’ve never been a huge fan of plain popcorn. I do love a good buttery popcorn with some salt on it, and it’s probably one of my favorite snacks, but it can’t hold its own in the dessert category. I knew I wanted to make something frosted for the holidays, but I also knew I wanted something that could hold its own in the snack department, and I’ve found that this recipe is the perfect solution!

I’m a huge fan of popcorn. It’s probably my favorite snack. I love that you can make it at home without any extra ingredients, like butter and salt, but it’s also a great option for movie night. All you need is a good popcorn popper, and you’re good to go!

But plain popcorn is just not good as a dessert. I had to jazz it up a bit. So I came up with this recipe of popcorn drizzled in white chocolate and then topped with M&M’s. It’s the perfect option for movie night or for holiday entertaining. And it’s also a fun option for gift giving too!
