Cake Batter Candy Popcorn

This fun and delicious popcorn can be a wonderful Easter treat (or any time for that matter)!  This cake batter flavored white chocolate popcorn is a sweet, slightly salty, crunchy treat.  Perfect for gifts, or just a big bowl to share.


Cake Batter Candy Popcorn


12 cups popped popcorn (I used 2 bags of microwave popcorn)
Easter M&Ms (I used about 1/2 of a bag. Use whatever flavor you love!)
1 (12 ounce) bag white chocolate chips
1/4 cup shortening
1 cup funfetti cake mix


Place the popcorn and M&Ms in a large bowl.  Set aside.  In a small bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and shortening.  Carefully melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.  Stir the cake mix into the melted white chocolate.  Working quickly now (the white chocolate will stiffen up), pour the melted white chocolate over the popcorn mixture and stir until evenly coated.  Place a piece of wax paper on the counter and pour the popcorn mixture onto the wax paper and spread evenly.  Let the popcorn cool on the wax paper, then transfer to a ziplock bag.


Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
