Notes

  • ¼ cup of corn kernels will produce 6 cups of cooked popcorn.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • ½ tsp of coconut oil can be added to the candy melts to make it easier to drizzle if you're using a spoon instead of a piping bag.
  • Any colored candy melts can be used.
