Ingredients
- 1 (8-oz) bag puff corn (not popcorn, but light, puffy corn snacks)
- 12 oz white chocolate or white candy melts
- ½ cup Easter sprinkles or pastel-colored sugar pearls
Instructions
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Prepare Puff Corn: Place the puff corn in a large mixing bowl ready for coating.
- Coat the Puff Corn: Pour the melted white chocolate over the puff corn and gently toss with a spatula, ensuring each piece is evenly coated without breaking the snacks.
- Spread and Decorate: Spread the coated puff corn onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in an even layer. Immediately sprinkle with pastel Easter sprinkles or sugar pearls before the chocolate begins to harden.
- Set the Clusters: Let the coated puff corn sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes until the white chocolate has fully set and hardened.
- Break and Serve: Once hardened, break the puff corn into bite-sized clusters. Serve in a bowl for snacking or package into treat bags for gifting.
Notes
- Do not confuse puff corn with popcorn; puff corn is larger, airy, and does not have kernels.
- Use white candy melts for an easier melting process if preferred over white chocolate.
- Make sure to spread the coated puff corn quickly before the chocolate sets to allow for even sprinkles distribution.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispness.
- This recipe is quick and requires no baking, making it a great last-minute treat.
