How to Melt the Chocolate

I like to melt the chocolate using a double boiler, which is just a fancy way to say “on the stove with a saucepan and bowl.” All you do is fill a saucepan with a couple of inches of water and bring it to a simmer. You can buy a double boiler or use a pot and a bowl to create one of your own!

Place a heatproof bowl on top of the saucepan. The water shouldn’t touch the bottom of the bowl, so if there’s too much, drain some off.

Place the almond bark in the bowl. The heat from the simmering water will melt it. Stir it around until it’s completely melted. You need to melt this separately was the almond bark and chocolate chips melt at different rates. If you don’t do this you’ll end up with a mess.

Add the white chocolate chips and stir them as they melt. Mixing them with the almond bark will make them smoother once melted and easier to pour over the puffcorn.

Coat the Puffcorn

Pour the puffcorn into a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate over the top. You can stir to coat the puffcorn or, if you have a lid that fits, cover the bowl and shake to coat it evenly. Shaking it is the easiest way to do it fast.

Spread the coated puffcorn onto wax paper. While the coating is still wet, add the sprinkles. Let it sit until the coating has hardened, and then store it in an airtight container.

Make it Any Time of Year!

We love to make it for Christmas, but you can make this any time of year! I’ve made it for football parties, birthdays, Valentine’s day… just switch up the sprinkles and use ones that match the occasion!

Recipe FAQs

Can you use flavored puffcorn?

I like to use plain – it works better with the white chocolate. So, double check when you buy yours because there are flavored ones.

Can I melt the white chocolate in the microwave?

White chocolate has a high sugar content and can scorch, which is why I prefer the double-boiler. But, you can use the microwave, but just melt it slowly in 30-second increments. Stop to stir between each and be careful not to scorch the chocolate. Make sure you melt the almond bark separately because they melt at different rates and you’ll scorch the white chocolate if you melt them together.

How long does it keep?

If you keep it in an airtight container it will keep for up to a week.

Can I use regular chocolate instead?

A reader commented that she used dark chocolate and it was great! If you try switching the chocolate let me know how it worked.

What else can I use white almond bark for?

Use the leftover bark to make snowman cookies, pizza cookie bars, or a sweet popcorn snack!
