Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Microwave-safe Bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Spatula or spoon
Ingredients
- 11 full Oreos crushed
- 12 cups plain popped popcorn or lightly salted
- 2.5 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt optional
Instructions
- Begin by popping your popcorn. You can use an air popper, stovetop method, or microwave according to your preference. Just make sure to end up with about 12 cups of popped popcorn.
- In a medium bowl, crush the 11 Oreos into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the 2-1/2 cups of white chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the popped popcorn and crushed Oreos. Pour the melted white chocolate over the popcorn mixture. Use a spatula to gently fold everything together until the popcorn is evenly coated.
- If you’re using well-salted popcorn, feel free to skip this step. Otherwise, sprinkle in the 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and gently mix again to incorporate it.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the coated popcorn mixture evenly across the sheet.
- Allow the Oreo Popcorn to cool completely at room temperature. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
- Once cooled, break the popcorn into clusters or pieces and transfer it to a serving bowl. Enjoy your homemade Oreo Popcorn!
Notes
- For an even richer flavor, try using high-quality white chocolate.
- Store the Oreo Popcorn in an airtight container to keep it fresh for up to a week.
- Feel free to adjust the number of Oreos based on your taste preference.
