Cookies and Cream Popcorn

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unpopped popcorn kernels, or 2 bags tender white popcorn
• 1 bag Vanilla Candy Melts, such as Wilton
• 24 Oreo cookies, chopped into pebble size pieces, about 3 cups

Directions

1. Pop the popcorn kernels into a very large bowl using a popcorn popper and following the manufacturer’s instructions, or use the microwave if you’re starting with microwave popcorn bags. Pick out and discard any kernels that didn’t pop.
2. Add the chopped Oreos to the bowl with the popcorn and toss them together.
3. Place the Vanilla Candy Melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in 30 second intervals, stirring after each round, until the candy is fully melted and smooth.
4. Spoon or drizzle half of the melted candy over the popcorn mixture. Fold it together several times with a rubber spatula, then add the rest of the melted candy. Toss gently for about 30 seconds – 1 minute, until everything is evenly coated.
5. Spread the mixture onto wax paper so it can cool and the candy coating can firm up. Transfer the Cookies and Cream Popcorn to an airtight container for storage.
