Freshly popped popcorn gets tossed in melted candy coating tinted pink and green, then dried into crisp, colorful clusters.

Ingredients
- 12 cups popped popcorn, unpopped kernels and debris removed
- 10 ounces pink candy melts
- 10 ounces green candy melts
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons pink and green sprinkles
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Method
-
Pop the popcorn using an air popper or stovetop method, and spread it in a single layer across two large parchment-lined baking sheets, discarding any unpopped kernels.
-
Sprinkle the warm popcorn evenly with salt and toss gently to distribute.
-
Divide the popcorn evenly between two large mixing bowls, one for pink and one for green.
-
Melt the pink candy melts with 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second bursts and stirring between each, until smooth.
-
Pour the melted pink candy over the popcorn in the first bowl and toss with a rubber spatula until evenly coated.
-
Spread the pink-coated popcorn onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer and scatter with some of the sprinkles while still wet.
-
Melt the green candy melts with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second bursts and stirring between each, until smooth.
-
Pour the melted green candy over the popcorn in the second bowl and toss until evenly coated.
-
Spread the green-coated popcorn onto a separate parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer and scatter with the remaining sprinkles while still wet.
-
Let both batches sit at room temperature until the candy coating hardens completely.
-
Break the hardened popcorn into clusters and toss the pink and green batches together in a large bowl before serving or packaging.
