Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 8-10 cups lightly salted popped popcorn
- 1 (11-oz) bag white candy melts or white chocolate chips candy melts are easier to melt, Ghirardelli is a little spendy but so good

- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
- Valentine’s Day sprinkles as needed (I use 2-3 tablespoons)

- Melt candy melts:Melt the white candy melts according to package directions. If you’re using the microwave, be sure to stir after every 20 seconds so the chocolate doesn’t burn or turn grainy.1 (11-oz) bag white candy melts or white chocolate chips
