Ingredients for White Chocolate Twix Popcorn

• salted popcorn (or ½ cup kernels if popping fresh)
• white chocolate chips or white candy melts (or another confectionery coating like Candy Quik or Merckens)
• dark cocoa candy melts (or another confectionery coating like Candy Quik or Merckens)
• Twix Bites or 4-5 regular Twix bars
• Optional: vegetable oil (to help thin the chocolate if needed)

Step-by-Step Guide to Making White Chocolate Twix Popcorn

Cut Twix Bites in half or cut Twix candy bars into small ¼-inch thick pieces.

Pop 1 bag of  Orville Redenbacher's Naturals Simply Salt Popcorn according to package instructions. Remove un-popped kernels and pour popcorn into a very large mixing bowl.

Melt the white candy melts. Heat it in the microwave on high power for 1 minute, then stir, and heat it on high for 30 seconds. Then allow the candy coating to sit in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Remove bowl and stir. If wafers are not completely melted, heat on high for 10-second increments, stirring after each.

Heat dark cocoa candy melts in the microwave on high for 15-second increments, stirring after each until melted.

Pour peanut butter chips into a bowl of melted white candy coating.

Stir, and wait 1 minute, then gently stir again. The chips will melt slightly.

Pour over the popcorn. Toss to stir until all the popcorn is coated.

Toss in the Twix Bites.

Pour popcorn onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Spread into a thin layer. Drizzle with the melted dark candy melts.

Freeze for 10 minutes or refrigerate for 15 minutes. Break into small pieces.
