For patriotic holidays like the 4th of July, it’s fun to have some red, white and blue treats like this Patriotic Popcorn Recipe! It’s fun an easy to make with some popcorn, marshmallows and almond bark or white chocolate. Since this recipe is so simple, you really have a lot of leeway to play around with the ingredients you choose. The popcorn and marshmallows or standard, but then you can choose to use either almond bark, white chocolate chips or candy melts. We used food coloring to color ours, but if you use candy melts, you can choose ones that are already colored red and blue.
The next part is even more fun – deciding what kind of sprinkles and candies to add in! You can use straight chocolate chips, red, white and blue M&Ms, non pareils, star sprinkles in red, white and blue or anything you like!
To serve your popcorn, it looks cute in red Solo cups or even cuter in paper popcorn boxes or reusable plastic popcorn boxes. The popcorn also makes a fun party favor if you package it in clear cello treat bags and tie them with red, white and blue ribbons.
