Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I’m seeing the Barbie movie this weekend with a group of girlfriends and I wanted to bring along a themed treat. Cue the Pink Strawberry Popcorn.
This pretty pink popcorn is perfect for any occasion that calls for pink, including movie night’s, girl’s nights, baby showers, and bachelor parties.
But don’t wait for a special occasion to make it, because it only takes about 15 minutes to whip up a batch of this popcorn. Even less time if you buy your popcorn already popped.
And you just need three ingredients–popcorn (of course), white chocolate, and freeze-dried strawberries.
You’ll also need an extra large bowl and a couple of wooden spoons. That’s it! It’s so easy and so yummy. Maybe even a little addictive.
I love that this colorful snack is so much easier to make than traditional candy or caramel popcorn. And relatively speaking, it’s much healthier too.
Freeze dried strawberries actually have a lot of the same nutritional benefits as fresh strawberries, like iron and potassium. Plus no fat. Not that I’m promoting this as a healthy treat, by any means, but you could definitely do worse.
With the white chocolate coating, the flavor reminds me of strawberries and cream. What’s not to love about that? Honestly, I’m glad I had plans to share, because I could have eaten the whole batch.
Want to try different flavors? Just use different varieties of freeze-dried fruit. I’m making a batch of peach popcorn next!
Next time you have a reason to celebrate pink, or you’re just craving a sweet treat, whip up a batch of this Pink Strawberry Popcorn. Happy snacking!
