    We love this popcorn with almond bark and I'm sure you will too. It's such an incredible salty-sweet flavor combination and crunch. Perfect for any time of the year and always gives a great twist to movie night.

    My mom has been making this almond bark popcorn recipe for as long as I can remember. Back in elementary school when homemade foods were allowed in school, I used to "volunteer" her to bring this as a party snack.

    Unfortunately, I usually gave her 24 hours or less of a heads-up notice. But, because this recipe is so simple, cheap, and easy to make there wasn't as much of a complaint about serving this to the kids as it could have been.

    Of course, now that I'm an adult, I know how to make it myself and I can enjoy it whenever the mood strikes. There's one perk of being an adult for ya!

    🔪 Instructions

    Check out how to make popcorn with almond bark with these simple step-by-step instructions:

    Make your microwave popcorn according to package directions and remove the unpopped kernels.

    In a small microwave-safe bowl melt your almond bark in 30-second bursts, stirring between each until it's smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the bar on a small skillet or in a pot.

    Lay popped popcorn on a wax paper lined baking sheet.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    This white chocolate popcorn almond bark is really easy to make, but there are a few tips to keep in mind.

    If you plan on making more than 1 bag's worth of popcorn you might want to invest in a larger bowl. My mom actually has a huge Tupperware bowl with a lid (I'm almost positive it could fit a small turkey in there!) We only use it when we make this almond bark popcorn and potato salad. #Priorities

    This popcorn recipe will be messy, there's no way around that. You can toss the melted white chocolate over the popcorn with your hands (after letting it cool down for a minute so you don't burn yourself) or you can toss it together like a salad with large spoons.

    Eating it as-is as soon as it's mixed is perfectly fine, but it will be messy. Making it and then giving the chocolate a chance to solidify is a better way to enjoy the popcorn without the sticky mess.

    💭 FAQs

    What type of popcorn should I use?

    You can use any type of popcorn that you want. I recommend the buttery and salty popcorns because it gives a great salty-sweet flavor that can't be beaten. I've used homemade popcorn, kettle version, and even unsalted popcorn before but the butter ones are where it's at.

    How long is popcorn almond bark good for?

    It can last up to a few days before becoming stale and chewy assuming that you keep it stored correctly. We have never had this popcorn almond bark snack mix last more than 3 days around here so I don't know if it would last any longer than that.

    What can I add to white chocolate popcorn?

    You can add anything you want! While we're pretty much traditionalists, and enjoy it as-is but you can add in sprinkles, chocolate chips, chopped pretzels, and even crushed cookies if you really wanted to. It's so good no matter what you do.

    How should I store my popcorn with almond bark?

    Once your popcorn and chocolate have cooled and solidified, keep it in an airtight covered container until you're ready to eat it. You can keep it in a Tupperware-style container or in a Ziploc bag if you wanted to, both are great options.

      What constitutes a "bar" of the almond bark? A square or the whole package?
