Popcorn – you can pop your own or use pre-popped. Go for plain or a simple sea salt.
White Chocolate– melt it and drizzle it all over the popcorn. It gives both a delicious sweetness and something for the powdered strawberries to adhere to.

Tips and Variations

Dark Chocolate – go for chocolate covered strawberry vibes and add a drizzle of melted dark chocolate on top of the strawberry popcorn.
Dairy-Free – use a dairy-free white chocolate (like Enjoy Life brand) and make sure your popcorn is dairy free/ popped with an oil or air, not butter.
Gluten-Free – as long as there are no additives to your white chocolate or popcorn, this strawberry popcorn is a naturally gluten-free snack!
No Added Sugar – use a stevia-sweetened or other no added sugar white chocolate, like Lily’s brand.
Add Some Crunch – toasted shredded coconut, finely chopped nuts or seeds all can add some fun crunch.

How to Store

Once the chocolate has set, the strawberry popcorn can be transferred to an airtight container and kept on the counter or in the pantry for up to one week.
