Love cookies and cream ice cream? This Oreo popcorn recipe is definitely right up your alley! It’s sweet, creamy, a little salty, and crunchy — a combo of flavors and textures that you won’t get enough of.
And guess what? You probably already have all the ingredients for it in your cupboard.
Now get your Popper ready and let’s make Oreo popcorn:
Oreo Popcorn Ingredients
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or candy melts
- 15 Oreo cookies
- Salt, to taste
How to Make Oreo Popcorn
Step 1: Break Oreos
Chop or break your Oreos into little pieces and set aside.
Step 2: Heat
Set your stove to medium heat and allow the Popper to preheat for 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 3: Add Oil
Pour oil into the Popper.
Step 4: Add Kernels
Drop 2-3 kernels into the pot. Pour in the remaining kernels once the first one pops. Then put the Popper’s lid on.
Step 5: Pop
Turn the crank clockwise while the kernels pop to keep them from staying on one side and burning.
PRO TIP: If the spinner gets stuck mid-pop, simply lift it with your finger to release kernels that got logged behind.
Step 6: Remove
Take the Popper off the heat when popping slows. Remove the lid to allow steam to escape.
Step 7: Melt
Melt white chocolate chips or candy melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Stir after every interval until completely melted.
Step 8: Drizzle
Drizzle the melted chocolate over your popcorn. Use a spatula to help you coat the popcorn evenly.
Step 9: Sprinkle
Grab your chopped Oreos and sprinkle them over the chocolate-coated popcorn. Put the Popper’s lid back on, and then toss the pot or give it a few cranks to distribute the cookies.
Step 10: Serve
Pour the Oreo popcorn into a huge bowl. Wait about 30 minutes for the chocolate to cool, add a dash of salt to balance out the sweetness, and enjoy!
