Ingredients
-

-
8 ounces almond bark
-
10 ounces white chocolate (melting wafers or bars preferred)
-
Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Step-by-Step: How to Make White Chocolate Puff Corn
-
Start by prepping your work surface with two large sheets of waxed paper to catch the coated puff corn.
-
Pour the puff corn into a very large mixing bowl to allow for even mixing.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond bark and white chocolate. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring well after each interval until completely melted and smooth.
-
Pour half of the melted chocolate over the puff corn. Stir gently but thoroughly to coat.
-
Add the remaining melted chocolate and stir again, ensuring all puff corn pieces are fully coated.
-
Spread the coated puff corn mixture evenly onto the wax paper.
-
While the chocolate is still wet, scatter sprinkles over the top if desired.
-
Let the mixture cool and set completely, about 30 minutes.
-
After the mixture has fully set, break it into bite-sized clusters and transfer them to an airtight container for storage.
Helpful Tips
-
Stir gently to avoid crushing the puff corn.
-
Use a large enough bowl to comfortably stir the mixture.
-
If your chocolate mixture starts to harden while mixing, microwave it for 10 more seconds.
-
For a festive look, use colored sprinkles matching the holiday or occasion.
-
Let the chocolate fully set before storing to avoid sticking.
Substitutions And Variations
-
Almond Bark: If unavailable, just use extra white chocolate.
-
White Chocolate: Use melting wafers or bars for the best texture. Avoid chips as they may seize.
-
Flavor Boosts: Add a pinch of sea salt, cinnamon, or crushed peppermint.
-
Add-ins: Try mixing in mini marshmallows, M&M’s, or pretzel bits before the chocolate sets.
-
Dairy-Free Option: Use dairy-free white chocolate alternatives.
Storage Instructions
Store white chocolate puff corn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Avoid humid environments, which can make the puff corn soggy. For longer storage, keep in the refrigerator, but allow it to come to room temperature before serving to preserve the best texture.
