Ingredients
Supplies Used
- Microwave safe bowl
- Large baking sheet with parchment paper
- Cone-shaped cellophane bags
- Green ribbon or twine
Instructions
- Prepare Chocolate – Melt the green wafers in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20 second increments, stirring between, until completely melted and smooth.
- Coat the Popcorn – Add the popped and cooled popcorn to the melted chocolate and stir until coated. Spread on a lined baking sheet to dry.
- Fill Bags – Add a couple M&Ms to the bag first, so they will fill in the part that is too narrow for popcorn. Scoop the green popcorn into the bag, leaving some space so you can tie it. Add sprinkles.
- Finish – Tie the bags with a Chrismas ribbon to secure. Place a gold star sticker at the tip of the bag, like a tree topper.

- Chocolate – Green candy melts can be using in place of green chocolate melting wafers. You could also use melted white chocolate and stir in a few drops of green food coloring.
