christmas crack

White Chocolate PuffCorn Crack . . . it only takes two ingredients and a few minutes to make this highly addicting treat. It’s sweet and salty, and everyone loves it!

Simple recipes like this puffcorn are favorites at our house for holiday gift giving. We also love Cinnamon Roll Caramel Corn, and Chocolate Caramel Chex Mix.

 My mom and sister in law and I have started a tradition of getting together every year to make all of our Christmas treats for neighbors. It is so much fun, and we get a ton of baking done in one marathon day. Sadly, we had to cancel this year because I have been sick for almost three weeks. Not much of anything going on around here, and definitely no baking. 

Last year, however,  we put together over six dozen plates of goodies. One of the favorites was my sister in law’s recipe.  It’s been a favorite in her family for years, but that was the first time I’ve tried it. Oh man is it good!

She calls it “Christmas Crack”, but that’s something different at my house, so I’m just calling it White Chocolate Puffcorn. Several people called me to get the recipe, and it’s so easy it’s almost embarrassing. If you haven’t tried it, you’ve got to!

How to make White Chocolate Puffcorn:

Ingredients for this recipe:

  • puffcorn
  • almond bark
  • sprinkles (optional)

Pour your puffcorn (sometimes called corn puffs) into a large bowl. Spread some waxed paper out on your counter or table.

Break the almond bark into pieces and place it in a glass bowl. Cook in the microwave at half power, stirring every 30 seconds or so till melted and smooth.

Pour the melted white chocolate over the puff corn and stir till coated evenly. Spread onto waxed paper.

Add sprinkles if desired, then let sit till hardened.

That’s it! The hard part is trying not to eat half the batch. 🙂

What is puffcorn? It’s a puffed corn product that tastes similar to popcorn, but is made from cornmeal. It’s kind of like a puffy Cheeto but without the cheese. For this recipe, you want to make sure you get plain or buttered. 

What can I add to my Puffcorn? You can totally adapt this recipe to your taste, and to work for any occasion. I added Christmas sprinkles, but it would be fun to change up the colors for any holiday. It  could even be made with blue or pink sprinkles for a baby shower. And of course you can add any candy or nuts that you love.

Seriously guys, this stuff is so addicting! It’s salty, sweet, and crunchy all rolled into one irresistible treat. I had to hurry and get it packaged for our neighbors because everyone in my family keep snitching it as they walked past. 

It really is perfect for gift giving because it keeps really well. Just scoop it into gift bags and add a cute Christmas tag and you’re good to go!

    A friend made this for Super Bowl… omg it was soooooo yummy!!! So now I would like to make it but was wondering if anyone tried making it with white chocolate chips instead of almond bark. Would like to know how it turned out. TIA

      I have made it with white chocolate chips instead, but you have to add a bit of oil or shortening (not butter). Usually about 1-2 teaspoons of oil for every cup of chocolate chips.

    Love this idea. I had to give up regular popcorn due to the hulls & this sounds like a fantastic replacement. Thank you!

      I can find the puffcorn at my local grocery store, but if you click the link on the recipe card, you can buy it online at Target. (If it’s in stock -so many people are home baking during this dang pandemic that I’ve found it much harder to find ingredients online.)

    Once made, how long will it last before going stale.

      I like it best within a about 3 day, after that it starts to get a little soft. My family doesn’t really notice though, they will eat it even after a week. (If any lasts that long!)

    I’ve made something similar to this for several years with white almond bark, popcorn and just a couple handfuls of Fritos. I know Fritos sounds weird but so good. We call it crackcorn. Love yours with the sprinkles. I never thought of that. I’ve tried to add food coloring to the almond bark which does turns it into a weird grainy paste.

      I’ve actually made a similar snack mix with the Fritos, and you are right, it is so good! I love the salty sweet combo!

    I sprinkled crushed candy canes on mine this year. It’s both festive and delicious!
    For Thanksgiving I added some candy corn. Looks and tastes amazing!

    I use the white chocolate to mix with regular popcorn, mixed nuts and mini pretzels. It really makes a wonderful sharable gift. The mixed nuts make it a more hearty and classy snack mix.
