Notes

Use plain, unflavored popcorn kernels for best results. Flavored popcorn may affect the overall taste of the snack.
Be sure to stir the white chocolate mixture constantly while melting to prevent burning.

When coating the popcorn with the white chocolate mixture, work quickly as the mixture can harden fast.
Customize the popcorn with your favorite toppings such as candy pieces, nuts, or coconut flakes.
Store the popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

If the popcorn becomes stale or loses its crunch, you can reheat it in the oven for a few minutes to crisp it up again.
Use caution when handling the baking sheet and melted white chocolate mixture as they can be hot.
