cookies and cream popcorn

Are you ready for the easiest treat ever?  I hope so, because it's coming your way whether you like it or not.  This popcorn is so easy and has been a hit whenever I take it somewhere.  My husband loves it and if I have to make a treat to take anywhere he always requests this.  The recipe is really small, it only makes one bag of microwave popcorn so whenever I make it I usually times it by 3 or 4, depending on how large a group I'm taking it to.
 
 

Cookies and Cream Popcorn:
  • 1 bag microwave kettle popcorn
  • 8 Oreos, crushed finely (it's really important to crush very finely.  If you have big chunks it won't stick and you'll end up with lots of Oreo pieces in the bottom of your bowl.)
  • 6 ounces white chocolate
Pop the popcorn according to package directions and poor out onto a piece of waxed paper.  Separate out all the unpopped kernels (we don't want any cracked teeth!).  Combine the popcorn and Oreos in a large mixing bowl.  The Oreos will fall to the bottom, it's ok.  Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments until smooth.  Poor over the popcorn mixture.  Stir from bottom until evenly coated with chocolate and Oreos.  Poor back onto wax paper to let it set up (about 15 minutes, sometimes mine sets out for a couple of hours while I get ready or something, it's not too picky).  Put back in bowl and enjoy!

Recipe adapted from: here 

The only change I make to the original recipe is the amount of Oreos, I found 12 to be way too many.  If you like more or less feel free to add or take away :)
 
Enjoy!
