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 and serve in a large bowl.
Storage
Room Temperature: Store Oreo popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3–4 days to keep it fresh and crunchy.
Cool, Dry Place: Keep the container in a cool, dry area away from heat so the chocolate coating does not melt.
Avoid Refrigeration: Refrigerating popcorn can cause it to become stale or chewy due to moisture.
Make Ahead: This snack can easily be made a day or two in advance, making it perfect for parties, movie nights, or holiday treats.
Pro Tips
- Use Your Favorite Popcorn – Microwave popcorn works great for this recipe, but you can also use air-popped popcorn, stovetop popcorn, or even store-bought popped popcorn.
- Remove Unpopped Kernels – Take a moment to pick out any kernels that didn’t pop. Once the popcorn is coated in chocolate, they can be hard to see and could hurt someone’s teeth.
- Allow the Chocolate to Set – Let the coated popcorn sit until the chocolate fully hardens before breaking it into pieces. This helps prevent a sticky mess and makes it easier to handle.
- Great for Gifts and Party Favors – Oreo popcorn makes a fun homemade treat to share. Place it in cellophane bags or small containers and tie with ribbon for easy party favors or gifts for friends and neighbors.
- Crush the Oreos Easily – A food processor makes crushing the cookies quick and simple. If you don’t have one, place the cookies in a sealed zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Melt Chocolate Slowly – Melt the white chocolate in 20-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each round. This prevents the chocolate from burning and helps it melt smoothly.
- Spread Evenly to Cool – After mixing the popcorn and toppings, spread it out on a parchment-lined baking sheet so the chocolate can set evenly.
- Add Toppings While Chocolate Is Wet – If you want to add extra cookies, sprinkles, or candy, do it before the chocolate hardens so everything sticks well.
