We haven’t always put a lot of effort into celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, but since we do have quite a bit of Irish in our background, we decided to celebrate it this year.
After reading several books about the real Patrick in our homeschool studies, we were inspired, especially by this one!
We usually save this type of treat for a special family night or a family party. It’s not healthy, but it’s super easy to make and it tastes great!
St. Patrick’s Day Chocolate Popcorn
We almost always use an air popper to make our popcorn.
We get our popcorn in bulk from our Azure Standard food co-op, and pop it ourselves on the stovetop (we love our Whirley Pop!) or in our air popper.
But for this recipe, we just used a bag of microwave popcorn, which we sometimes use for convenience. 🙂
Ingredients
- 1 bag of microwave popcorn (or pop your own the old-fashioned way)
- 1 package of white chocolate (or almond bark)—we used 4 cubes of almond bark
- 1 bag of chocolate mint M&Ms
How to Make It
Pop the popcorn.
Melt the white chocolate/almond bark, either on the stove or in the microwave. We just put ours in the microwave this time.
Pour the popcorn into a bowl or onto a serving tray. Make sure to remove any unpopped kernels.
Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the popcorn and gently toss to coat.
Add as many M&Ms as you want!
Allow to cool before serving.

Nutrition
This made what I would consider about 6 servings, but if you needed to make more, it would be easy to double or triple the recipe.

Saw this on Bloggers Pit Stop! I will definitely be making this. Thinking pink or blue for a baby shower? Where did you get the all green M&Ms?
Pink or blue for a baby shower is a great idea! I think I found the all green ones at Walmart, or you can find them here.
