Green Eggs and Ham Popcorn
Ingredients
- 8 cups popped popcorn
- 12 ounces white chocolate melted according to package instructions
- green gel food coloring see note
- 1 cup egg shaped candy
- 1.5 ounces pink Laffy Taffy
Instructions
- Take the Laffy Taffy out of it's packaging. Place it on parchment paper and microwave for 30 seconds. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and roll it out. Let cool and then cut into small pieces.
- Lay the popcorn out on a parchment lined rimmed baking sheet.
- Melt the white chocolate according to package instrucitons. Be careful not to overheat (see notes in the post). Mix in the green food coloring. Working quickly pour it over the popcorn and then mix with your hands.
- Again, working quickly, place the eggs and Laffy Taffy pieces on top. You may want to push them in a little so they stick to the wet chocolate before it hardens.
- Break up the popcorn and then store in air tight containers.
Notes
It is important when working with white chocolate to not introduce any water to it. If it gets any water it will seize up and not longer be smooth and easy to work with. This is why we want to use gel instead of regular food coloring. Another option is to go to a craft store and buy green candy melts.
