📝 Ingredients
- 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.
Take one package of almond bark – the kind that you heat the bark in the provided tray. Microwave it according to package directions. It only took my microwave 60 seconds to get it to the soft stage you see 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. (My large bowl was already being used to hold watermelon, so I used a 9 x 13 cake pan.)
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 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.

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.
