I’ve got another amazing Patriotic treat for you!
Earlier this week, I shared a simple patriotic snack mix…and today it’s a simple popcorn with a sweet red-white-and-blue drizzle. I’m sharing this one over a week ahead…in case you want to order the blue baking chips. (The other items you should be able to find at your grocery store.) The blue baking chips can be found on Amazon or at a cake decorating store, if you have one of those in your area.
Also, if you’re into the sweet-salty type of popcorn, be sure to sprinkle a little salt onto the popcorn just after you lay it all out onto a baking sheet.
Pop the popcorn and lay out onto lined baking sheet to cool.
Melt the blue baking chips. Melt the white chocolate chips.
Drizzle the blue.
Drizzle the white.
Sprinkle in the red.
Let cool and the prepared popcorn will clump together.
Serve Patriotic White Chocolate Popcorn at your Independence Day gathering!
Munch, munch, crunch!
