One of my favorite gifts to give at Christmas is bags or tins filled with homemade white chocolate popcorn.
My friends and family can’t get enough of it and I love that it is so easy to make.
This year, I found some really great Disney Frozen popcorn buckets and boxes to give to some friends who have young kids and wanted to make the popcorn as festive as the decoration on the packaging.
I thought it would be fun to add candy snowflakes to the popcorn and to toss in some blue and white jimmies (sprinkles) too.
My friend’s kids are crazy about anything filled with sprinkles, so I tossed in a lot.
After I whipped up my first batch and took a bite, I was pleasantly surprised to find the candy snowflakes added a nice flavor and just an extra bit of crunch to the popcorn.
The bright blue sprinkles and light blue snowflakes look so pretty up against the white popcorn. I just know my friends will love this Christmas treat. I know your friends and family will love this festive winter treat too!
You can package it in Christmas tins, bags, or boxes if you don’t want it to be Frozen themed. It even makes a great movie night snack for anytime during the winter.

Winter Wonderland Frozen White Chocolate Popcorn
- 7 cups popped popcorn
- 12 ounces melted and tempered white chocolate or melted white confectionery coating*
- 1/2 cup blue sprinkles
- 1/4 cup candy snowflakes
- *For really bright white popcorn use Bright White Candy Melts. For detailed information about working with and melting chocolate please see my Chocolate Making Tips page.
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Pour popcorn into a large mixing bowl.
-
Pour white chocolate over top.
-
Quickly stir it and toss it to coat the popcorn.
-
Pour out onto the baking sheet and immediately toss the sprinkles and snowflakes over top.

Wack the pan on the counter a few times. This helps get the candy to stick.

Remove and break up into bite size chunks.

Thanks, Karen. 🙂
Can this be made a couple days ahead of time and frozen?
If you store the popcorn in an airtight container it will stay fresh for over a week. If you store it in a metal popcorn tin, it will stay fresh for more than a month. I don’t recommend freezing the popcorn.
THANK YOU!!!
Is the popcorn buttered and/or salted before you make it or just plain?
I usually use air popped popcorn to make my white chocolate popcorn, but have also had success using microwave popcorn that is lightly salted and buttered.
Thank you!!
