It’s one of the easiest popcorn recipes. We used microwave Kettle corn which is so simple. We love the sweet and salty taste from the kettle corn.

Then melt the white chips in the microwave too. Super easy, right?! We had our kids help us and we had a fun time in the kitchen together.

The kids love to help make this Patriotic Popcorn. They can drizzle the melted white chocolate over the popcorn, add the sprinkles, and M&M’s.

Storing and Other Tips

Store popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Popcorn starts to get chewy the longer it sits.

This recipe can work for other holidays as well, just change up the sprinkles and colors of M&M’s.
