In case anyone else made the same mistake I did: You need to use colorings that are specially formulated for chocolate. Standard grocery store food coloring is water based and it will not work. Gel, paste, or powdered colors will work to beautifully color your confectionery coatings.

Now I know! Back to the store I go!

Anyone having the same issue that I am? Every time I add food coloring to the melted white chocolate, it hardens the chocolate, making it impossible to “drizzle” over the popcorn. The white chocolate is perfectly smooth and ready to drizzle until the food coloring drops touch it, then bam, hardens right up. Suggestions, please, princess party is tomorrow!

I am making this for my daughters candy bar at her Birthday party. I have a few questions.

1) I have a microwave bowl with a vented lid that seems to work when popping corn. Does the popcorn taste different if you pop it on the stove?
2) How many servings does this make?
3) I want to make this ahead and store it in a Tupperware container for 2 weeks. Do you think that will be ok? Does this need to be stored in or out of refrigerator and how long can I store this?

I just cooked a recipe from another blog and it tasted gross!!! Ugghhh! I hope this one is good.

Hello Krisztina,

I’m sorry. I honestly don’t know. I made this recipe from one that I found online years ago at this point. I personally would think that it might get soggy or possibly stale if you make it ahead though. It’s not the same as making popcorn balls etc…

I also was wondering the same….can these be premade? Did you get an answer? Thanks!

TRY DRIZZLING THE POPCORN WITH MILK CHOCOLATE FIRST, THEN WITH THE WHITE CHOCOLATE. IT MAKES A DIFFERENT LOOK AND TASTE.

This looks great! I will be making this for my daughters party. I am assuming that you put the Kosher salt on popped popcorn and then the melted white chocolate? Just wondering if enough salt sticks to the popped corn without having butter help to make it adhere. Thanks!
