Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unpopped popcorn kernels
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 12 oz white chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup Funfetti cake mix
- 1 tbsp refined coconut oil
- 1/4 cup rainbow jimmies sprinkles
Instructions:
- Pop the kernels. Use your preferred method to pop 1/2 cup unpopped popcorn kernels. Note: Shake the bowl to let unpopped old maids sink to the bottom; remove them so no one breaks a tooth.
- Salt the base. Toss the warm popcorn with 1/2 tsp fine sea salt in a massive bowl. Note: Salting while warm helps the grains adhere to the crannies of the corn.
- Prep the landing zone. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Ensure the surface is completely dry and flat.
- Melt the white chocolate. Combine 12 oz white chocolate chips and 1 tbsp refined coconut oil in a glass bowl. Note: Microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring between each, until 80% melted, then stir until smooth.
- Incorporate the flavor. Whisk 1/3 cup Funfetti cake mix into the melted chocolate. Stir until the mixture is glossy and no dry streaks remain.
- Coat the corn. Pour the cake batter mixture over the salted popcorn in a slow stream. Note: Work quickly as the chocolate will begin to set once it hits the cooler popcorn.
- Fold gently. Use a large spatula to turn the popcorn over itself. Continue until every kernel is shimmering with a thin layer of white.
- Add the color. Sprinkle 1/4 cup rainbow jimmies sprinkles over the wet popcorn. Note: Don't over mix once the sprinkles are in, or the colors might bleed into the white chocolate.
- Spread and set. Empty the bowl onto your prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes until the chocolate is firm to the touch.
- Break and serve. Once set, gently break up any large clumps with your hands. The popcorn should feel dry and have a distinct snap.
