    I made something like this for Christmas for several years and then lost the recipe!! I call it “Grinch Chow” and add some green food coloring and instead of sprinkles, I use christmas mini M&Ms.

      That is such a fun idea – and I’m always a fan of adding M&M’s!

    I got a snack size bag of this addicting puffcorn at a bake sale. Honestly, planned to take home and share. However, it did not make it home because I ate all of it.. so, I found your recipe and im now waiting for my first batch to harden. Thank you so much for sharing. It is definitely crazy something so simple is so addicting.

    Has anyone ever heat sealed this in bags for resell? Just wondering how long it stays fresh.

    How do you suggest storing this after it hardens? Countertop or fridge?

      I always store mine just at room temperature. It keeps really well just on the counter!

    I love how you say to use Puffcorn, but form your pictures, you obviously used actual popcorn and not Puffcorn which is completely hulless and doesn’t look anything like popped popcorn. Love the recipe however.

    Found this while searching for a “sweet” recipe for a work potluck, that wasn’t a Christmas Cookie, as that ship sailed away.
    I used two 9 ounce bags, and of course the stores were out of almond bark, but I did find Ghiradelli (SP?) white melting wafers. Not sure how coated their supposed to be but they all got a fine coating and OMG! Addicting! Its a great combo of sweet and salty. I hope I have some left by morning to take to work! Thanks for the great recipe! Can’t wait to tell my daughters about this one!

      The Ghirardelli melting wafers are a great substitute, I’ve used them a time or two. So glad you loved it. It’s hard to believe that something so easy could be so addicting!

    Thanks for sharing!! I have always used butter or plain popcorn with this. (Where do you get the puffed corn?).
    I also use colored baking candy wafers from Hobby Lobby, Michaels or any Large Walmart store, instead of the almond bark (in white or dark). At Christmas you can add green and red M&M’s or July 4th, red, white and blue ones, etc. so many options to make this with. I agree, it is SO simple, delicious and Addicting!!
    I haven’t found anyone who doesn’t love this!!

      Yes, it’s so good with popcorn as well! I love it with M&M’s. My local grocery store carries the puffcorn during the holiday season, but I think Walmart carries it all year long. You can also find it on amazon, but it’s usually more expensive.

    This is amazing! I don’t quite under the calories/nutrition info. The almond bark I bought has 150 calories per each 1/2 square. That alone is 300 calories for 12 squares.

    Yet the recipe says 12 servings which would be a minimum of 300 calories per serving.
    What am I missing?

      I think because I put in that you could use 6-8 ounces of puffcorn, it didn’t correctly compute the nutrition. Danggit. I updated the amount to 8 ounces, so now it is more accurate.

    The link to the puff corn no longer exists. What brand do you use?

      I use whatever brand I can find at the store. I’ve used several different brands and all of them have worked just fine. This year all I could find was a store brand, and they were still tasty!

    Hi Kara, Can the white chocolate puffcorn be refrigerated for a few days while I wait for my gift boxes and bags to show up? I am batch cooking and baking for holiday gifts…so in the meantime. Thanks

    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.

      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.)

      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 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.
