White chocolate-coated popcorn with sprinkles is a homemade gourmet treat that adds funfetti flavor to any occasion. It’s perfect for birthday parties, movie nights, or as a special surprise for your friends and family. The crunch of the popcorn combined with the sweetness of white chocolate makes for an amazing combination. Sprinkles are added to give it a festive look, making this treat all the more fun to enjoy.
Ingredients
- 1 large bag, approx 4.5 ounces, pre-popped popcorn
- 1 package almond bark
- sprinkles
How To Make Gourmet Popcorn
- Pour a bag of pre-popped popcorn into a large bowl.
- Microwave a package of almond bark according to package directions. It took my microwave only 60 seconds to reach the soft stage shown below. Although it looks like a few hard chunks, those were actually soft, and I only had to stir them for a little bit for them to melt into the rest of the bark.
- Spoon or pour the melted almond bark onto the popcorn.
Stir the popcorn and almond bark to try to make sure all of the popcorn gets coated.
- Sprinkle with *sprinkles* and let cool. You can speed up the cooling/drying process by placing it in the refrigerator if you’d like.
It’s a fun little treat that kids, both young and old, will enjoy.

Can I use buttered popcorn?
I have not tried it, so I cannot say definitively. If you make a batch with buttered popcorn, please come back and let us know how it turned out. 🙂
Too cute! I’ve never seen the bark in a tray for melting – where do you find it?
I bought that one at Kroger in the baking aisle. I have bought them at Walmart, too.
These look amazing and the recipe seems so, so easy! Question, though what is almond bark?
looks so fun and easy to make as well
