Mini Egg Popcorn
/Hey Everyone!
I wanted to share a fun twist on my Oreo Popcorn Recipe with an Easter version using the fun Micro Mini Eggs!
Ever since my kids were little I would make Oreo Popcorn and bag it up with a cute tag for them to share with their school friends. Sadly, Covid and my kids growing into teens killed being able to do those fun things for them—however, I now work with a group of amazing Educational Assistants who I get to treat! So I decided to try out a fun twist on Oreo Popcorn with a Micro Mini Egg version!
Doesn’t this look yom?
Micro Mini Egg Popcorn:
You will need:
3-4 bags of butter flavored microwaved popcorn
1 bag of white/vanilla Candy Melts
I larger bag of Micro Mini Eggs
Tinfoil to lay the popcorn out on so it can set
Plastic bags from the party section at your local big box store
Alternatively you could use regular Mini Eggs that you smash to bits. That is rewarding on its own.
Putting it together:
Microwave your popcorn and toss into a big big bowl. Melt the Candy Melts (I do use a double boiler but you can slowly and carefully melt them in the microwave). Add the melted chocoloate over the popcorn in two batches. I add about half of the chocolate, mix/shake the popcorn and then add the remaining chocolate. Add the Micro Mini Eggs in a similar fashion, making sure to get them distributed throughout the popcorn. Dump the popcorn out to ‘set’ and then bag up and enjoy.
Of course every bag needs a fun tag and the new Poppin’ By bundle by Stampin’ Up! was perfect for this fun little snack project. I created a bit of an oversized tag ( 4 3/4 x 2 inches) in my Grey Granite card stock. I stamped ‘enjoy’ randomly in the background.
The little popcorn friend is colored with the Stampin’ Write Markers in Strawberry Slush and Darling Duckling. These are two of our new In Colors being released in May.
I added the sentiment ‘No one’s butter than you’ in Summer Splash ink on Pool Party card stock. I love a good play on words!
And I dug into my retired ribbon stash to make the cute bow to attach the tag.
NOTE: I was able to make 13 of these bags using 3 bags of microwave popcorn to give you an idea—its a cost affordable and time efficient treat to make for friends, parties and more!
I hope you enjoy making this fun popcorn recipe and if you are inspired to make your own custom tags, please consider shopping with me! I love what I do :)
