Birthday Cake Popcorn |
Buttery popcorn, melted white chocolate and cake batter create the ultimate party favour. Top with rainbow sprinkles for a colourful birthday treat.
Ingredients
- 1 bag of popcorn, popped
- 8 ounces of white chocolate candy coating, melted (I used Ghiradelli white chocolate and a handful of white
- chocolate melts)
- 4 heaping teaspoons of yellow cake mix
- Mini M&Ms
- Assorted sprinkles
Directions
1. Pop popcorn and spread out on a paper towel, removing any kernels or burnt pieces, and place in a large bowl. Mix in mini M&Ms.
2. Melt white chocolate in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Stir in cake mix until smooth, then stir in about 3 teaspoons of sprinkles. Immediately pour over popcorn. Using a wooden spoon, mix the popcorn and M&Ms until completely coated.
3. Pour out onto wax paper or into a wax-paper lined jelly roll pan and spread into a single layer. Sprinkle with sprinkles until festive, then let cool and harden. Break into pieces and enjoy!

Would the cake mix be eaten uncooked, except for just the heat from the microwaved chocolate?

I would leave out the cakemix, and just mix in the melted chocolate, sprinkles and m and ms. This resembles the rocky road popcorn we make (which includes mini marshmallows and almonds instead of sprinkles and candy) and I really don't see what cake mix could possibly add. The white chocolate is supersweet on its own
