Oreo Popcorn Ingredients
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 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 to 1-2 seconds between pops and transfer the popcorn to a large bowl.
Step 7: Melt
Melt white chocolate chips 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.
Step 10: Serve
Wait about 5-10 minutes for the white chocolate to set, add a dash of salt to balance out the sweetness, and enjoy!
