My family and friends will confirm, this candy coated popcorn will be the hit of your next party! I got this recipe years ago from my friend, Traci, and have been making it ever since. It couldn’t be easier, it only has 3 ingredients, and I haven’t ever taken this sweet treat somewhere and not written the recipe out for someone at the party.

Let’s get to this simple and addicting recipe!! 
Candy Coated Popcorn a.k.a. "Crack-Corn!"
This candy coated popcorn is nicknamed "crack corn" because it's so addicting! Buttery popcorn coated in almond bark and sprinkles. Perfect for parties!
Ingredients
- 3 squares almond bark
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 bags microwave popcorn, “old maids” removed
- sprinkles/sugar crystals (optional)
Instructions
- Pop the popcorn as directed on the package. Remove all of the unpopped kernels. Pour into a large bowl, or a paper grocery sack. Melt almond bark squares and oil in your microwave for one to one and a half minutes, or until you are able to stir into a pourable consistency. Pour warm mixture over popcorn and toss.
- After the popcorn is evenly covered, shake the desired sprinkles onto the corn and shake until you have it coated to your liking. Let it sit in a large bowl to “dry” for a while, especially if you decide to put into treat bags.
Notes
(The reason I prefer to use a paper grocery bag is that you can roll the top down and shake it. it coats evenly and you don’t end up with popcorn all over the floor….although my two puppies LOVE the ones that hit the floor!)
I have also added M&Ms after it's cooled. Use your imagination!

Hi there! I plan to make this today for a white, silver and bling themed baby shower happening tomorrow. How do I store this one made? Thanks so much!
I am sorry I am just seeing this! Just a big zippered bag or an airtight container once it dries. 🙂
I’m so glad I stumbled upon this recipe. I made it with my grandson and we used all different kinds of sprinkles. It was so much fun!

My kids to grab the entire Bowl. Great option when kids are around chilling with their friends. Love the flavor too.
Such a fun recipe for kids! Adding colors and textures to keep them and us entertained! Love this idea!
Do you use buttered popcorn or just plain popcorn
It doesn’t matter. I prefer butter, but if you want to skip some of the calories, either works!
what can I use as a substitute to the almond bark, my son is allergic to nuts
You could use white candy melts!
