Instructions
- For the white: Pop 2 bags of popcorn and pour into a medium bowl, shake the bowl to let the un-popped kernels fall to the bottom. Using your hands, transfer the popped popcorn to another large bowl (this will ensure that there are no hard kernels in the finished recipe).
- In another bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave, 30 seconds at a time, stirring between heating, until melted.
- Immediately pour over popcorn and stir to coat.
- Turn out onto waxed paper and allow to cool completely. Break into pieces.
