  • 0.5 cup blue M&Ms
  • 0.5 cup dried cherry candies chopped into small pieces

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Silicone spatula
  • Parchment paper or baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Measure and set aside all ingredients, ensuring popcorn is evenly spread on a large plate.
  2. Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted. The chocolate should be glossy and pourable.

  4. Spread the coated popcorn onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading out evenly to prevent clumping. Allow to set for about 10 minutes at room temperature or place in the refrigerator for quicker setting.
