Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 8 cups popped popcorn Use ½ cup of popcorn kernels to pop.
  • 1 cup blue candy melts
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini Oreos, crushed
  • ½ cup sprinkles

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by popping ½ cup of popcorn kernels in an air popper or on the stove with a bit of oil. Ensure there are no unpopped kernels left.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the blue candy melts. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  3. Once the candy melts are fully melted, pour the popcorn into the bowl and mix until evenly coated.
  4. While the popcorn is still warm, add in the chocolate chips, crushed mini Oreos, and sprinkles. Gently fold them in to distribute evenly.
  5. Spread the popcorn mixture out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool. Once set, break it apart into clusters and serve in a big bowl.

Notes

For Halal-friendly substitutions, use any other color of candy melts or swap out chocolate chips for a nut-free option. Make sure to work quickly with the melted candy and avoid using unpopped kernels for the best crunch. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, or freeze leftovers in a zip-top bag.
