How to Make Oreo Popcorn
Step 1. Prepare the popcorn. Pop approximately 10 cups of popcorn and place it on baking sheets lined with wax paper. You will probably need 2 sheet pans.
Step 2. Crush the cookies. Use a food processor to crush the Oreos. You can adjust this based on preference and how large you want the pieces to be.
Step 3. Melt the chocolate. Place the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in 20 second intervals. Make sure to stir with a spatula after each interval until completely melted and combined.
Step 4. Pour the white chocolate. Evenly pour the melted chocolate over the popcorn. Then toss the popcorn to thoroughly coat with the chocolate mixture.
Step 5. Sprinkle the crushed Oreos over the popcorn. Toss the popcorn again until the Oreos are mixed well into the popcorn mixture.
Step 6. Allow to set. Let the popcorn sit at room temperature until the white chocolate hardens. Then break the popcorn into pieces.
Storage
You can store the leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container or bag for up to 1 week.
Make sure the mixture has completely set and the chocolate has hardened before storing. It will be a mess if you do not wait.
Pro Tips
- Popcorn. I used microwave popcorn for this recipe, but you can definitely use whichever is your favorite. You can use store bought, air popped or anything you like.
- Remove any uppopped kernels. Make sure to pick out any kernels that did not pop. You do not want to hurt anyone’s teeth once it is coated in chocolate.
- Give the mixture time to set. The chocolate needs time to harden before breaking into pieces. Otherwise, it will be a sticky mess and hard to manage.
- Party Favors and gifts. This popcorn makes a great gift for favors or to hand out to friends and neighbors. Place inside a cellophane bag and tie securely.
- Crush the cookies. We used a food processor to make it really quick and easy. However, if you do not have one, you can use a ziplock bag and rolling pin. Seal the bag securely and crush the cookies with the rolling pin.
- Melt the chocolate in intervals. The chocolate needs to be melted in 20 second intervals. This will help to prevent it from burning. Make sure to stir between each interval.
