Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 9 ounces Puffcorn Light, airy base for crunch
For the Coating
  • 12 ounces Red Candy Melts Sweet, festive touch
  • 12 ounces Green Candy Melts Complements red for visual appeal
  • 2 teaspoons Coconut Oil Divided for smooth melting

Equipment

  • microwave-safe bowl
  • Cookie sheet
  • parchment paper

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by dividing the 9 ounces of puffcorn equally into two large bowls.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 12 ounces of red candy melts with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Pour the melted red chocolate over the first bowl of puffcorn and gently stir to coat.
  4. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread the red-coated puffcorn evenly across it. Let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to set.
  5. Repeat the melting process with the green candy melts. Melt 12 ounces of green candy melts with the remaining 1 teaspoon of coconut oil.
  6. Pour the melted green candy melts over the second bowl of puffcorn and stir to coat.
  7. Spread the green puffcorn onto another parchment-lined cookie sheet and allow to dry for 10-15 minutes.
  8. Once both red and green puffcorn have dried, gently mix them together in a large serving bowl.
  9. Transfer the Christmas Puffcorn to an airtight container for storage.

Notes

Melt candy melts in short intervals to avoid burning and ensure even consistency. Experiment with different toppings for variety.
