This Birthday Cake Popcorn Mix is a fun snack idea for parties, your favorite movie, or just because! It gets its flavor from cake mix and cake-flavored Oreos and is full of sprinkles and candy pieces.
2bagsWilton vanilla-flavored candy melts12 oz. each
½cupyellow cake mix
1cupplain M&M's candy
12Birthday Cake Oreo cookiesroughly chopped
assorted sprinkles
Instructions
Pop the popcorn kernels in an air popper or by using your favorite method. Pick out any unpopped kernels. Place the popcorn in a large bowl (if it isn't already).
Place wax paper on two baking sheets and set aside.
Melt the Wilton candy melts according to package directions. Stir in the dry cake mix until thoroughly combined. Working quickly, pour the candy over the popcorn and mix well. Add M&M's and Oreo cookies. Mix well. Divide the popcorn mixture between the two baking sheets, spreading out into a single layer and separating the pieces (it's okay if they touch a bit). Immediately shake sprinkles over the top.
Allow the popcorn to set until the candy melts have hardened. If necessary, break the popcorn into pieces before serving.
Notes
Feel free to change up the candy! Use peanut M&M's or Reese's Pieces if you prefer!
You can also add other mix-ins to the popcorn, such as chopped nuts or chocolate chips,
Store any leftovers in an airtight container and keep them at room temperature for up to 5-7 days.
