Birthday Cake Popcorn Mix
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.
Servings: 12 servings
Equipment
- Silicone Popcorn Maker, Collapsible Microwavable Bowl - Hot Air Popper - No Oil Required - Multiple Colors Available
Ingredients
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- 2 bags Wilton vanilla-flavored candy melts 12 oz. each
- ½ cup yellow cake mix
- 1 cup plain M&M's candy
- 12 Birthday Cake Oreo cookies roughly 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.
