Ingredients
10 cups popped popcorn (about 1/2 cup kernels or 1 bag plain popcorn)
12 oz green candy melts (or white chocolate with green food coloring)
2 tbsp coconut oil or shortening (for smoother melting)
1/2 cup mini marshmallows (optional, for extra sweetness)
1/2 cup red M&M’s or candy-coated chocolates
Red heart sprinkles or large candy hearts (Grinch’s growing heart!)
Sea salt, to taste
Instructions
Prepare popcorn: Place popped popcorn in a large bowl. Remove unpopped kernels.
Melt coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt candy melts with coconut oil in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
Coat popcorn: Pour melted candy over popcorn, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Add mix-ins: Quickly stir in mini marshmallows and red M&M’s before candy sets.
Spread & set: Spread popcorn mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Add heart sprinkles or candy hearts on top. Let set at room temp or refrigerate briefly.
Break & serve: Once hardened, break into clusters. Store in an airtight container.
