I love working with JOLLY TIME. Each time I do I try a different recipe that my family always seems to love. I always like to have some treats sitting around other than cookies for guests and my family. We usually do a bunch of baking throughout the month freezing cookies and such and then put everything out on Christmas Eve and everyone can indulge a little . I’ve already made a few cookies so what else to make, after checking out the recipes available on JOLLY TIME’s website. I knew just what that other treat would be, White Chocolate Pecan Popcorn.
The recipe is super easy and you don’t need a lot of ingredients. All you need is enough JOLLY TIME popcorn for 12 cups of popped popcorn. I brought out all the JOLLY TIME I had but in the end I only ended up using 2 popped bags of the JOLLY TIME Butter with Smart Balance. I used a bag of Hershey’s white chocolate morsels but you can use white chocolate bark or whatever you have and a 1/2 cup of pecans. My youngest son loves to help me bake so he helped me measure out the popcorn.
After putting your popped popcorn in a large bowl you simply melt down your white chocolate in the microwave. Once melted you mix in your 1/2 c of Pecans to the melted chocolate. The pour the mixture over your popcorn in the bowl. Here’s my tip, my chocolate didn’t “pour” it kinda glopped so I spread it around the best I could on the top, mixed it, then added a little more, and so on until all the chocolate mixture was in there.
After it’s mix you spread it out on a cookie sheet to dry.
After it dries you can pack it up how you want to. Frugal tip here, save your cookie and popcorn tins from previous years. I had a small holiday popcorn tin from when my boys were in boy scouts. This recipe filled the small popcorn tin.
It honestly did fill up the whole tin but I may or may not have had about 3 handfuls of this already lol. Seriously this recipe is so simple but is so good. This would also make an excellent budget friendly last minute gift for a neighbor, mailman, etc. Packed in a nice tin, yummy.
You can find this recipe and more on JOLLYTIME.com I also recommend creating a profile on the site. They have printable coupons on the site as well as free offers and free with shipping offers with JOLLY TIME UPCs . Right now they have a pedometer, water bottle, and reusable shopping bag deal.
