How to Make White Chocolate Popcorn Crack (with Puffcorn and Almond Bark)

This white chocolate-covered puffcorn is so easy to make. Our family makes this for many special occasions and holidays. We’ll have it for a treat while playing a game of cards during the holidays. But be aware it is very sweet!

Ingredients for White Chocolate Puffcorn

Ingredients

Ingredient notes:

Puffed corn: we prefer Chester’s puffcorn (butter-flavored), but you can use any other brand.

Chester's Butter Puffcorn

Almond bark: you may be able to find almond bark at a local grocery store, but it can sometimes be hard to find, especially if you’re searching during a non-holiday season. In my experience, it’s easier to find around Thanksgiving and Christmas. You should be able to order it from Amazon or other sites year-round.

Supplies

  • Parchment paper or wax paper
  • Large bowl
  • Medium bowl
  • Spoon
  • Storage container

Pour both bags of puffcorn into a large mixing bowl. Prep a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper.

Then, in a medium-sized bowl, add the almond bark (broken down into individual pieces). Melt the almond bark in the microwave in small increments of 15-30 seconds (to avoid burning), and stir it often.

Pour the melted almond bark on top of the puffcorn and stir until coated evenly. If your bowl has a lid, you can also top your bowl with the lid and shake it to coat the puffcorn.

Adding Sprinkles to White Chocolate Puffcorn in Glass Bowl

Spread the coated puffcorn onto parchment or wax paper and add more sprinkles (optional).

Variations

Here are ways we love to change up this recipe, like adding fun sprinkles, customizing the color, or adding to a snack mix.

Customize with Holiday Sprinkles

You can easily customize this recipe for any occasion with fun sprinkles! There are so many cute options. Here are some of our favorites:

Add food coloring to the almond bark

You can add a bit of food coloring to the almond bark to add color to the coating itself. However, be careful not to add too much, as this can make the almond bark chunky. If this happens, you can add paramount crystals or another candy thinner.

Create a sweet and salty trail mix

Mix it with other sweet and salty snacks for an extra-yummy treat. Some ideas: pretzels, chocolate chips, nuts, crushed candy canes, M&M’s, Chex cereal, and gumdrops.

Common Questions

Here are questions related to making this tasty treat.

What can I use if I can’t find almond bark?

We highly recommend almond bark based on flavor, but if you’re in a pinch, you can use white chocolate chips or candy melts instead. If you use white chocolate chips, be sure to use a little coconut or vegetable oil to thin it out.

What brand and flavor of puffcorn should I use?

We love Chester’s puffcorn for this recipe, but you can use any other brand. Use butter-flavored puffed corn for the best taste—we’ve tried plain puffcorn, and it doesn’t have the same delicious flavor.

Can I use regular popcorn in place of puff corn?

Yes. Although the taste will be different (and not as delectable, in our opinion), this recipe will work with regular popcorn as well.

How long does it last?

It should last up to a week or more if stored in an airtight container. Of course, the sooner you eat it after making it, the better the texture and taste.
