The 'My Baking Addiction' blog has developed an easy DIY recipe for a delicious popcorn treat. This recipe combines regular popcorn with minty Oreo cookies to create a snack that provides the perfect blend of sweet and salty.
To make the recipe, you will need un-popped popcorn kernels, mint chocolate Oreos and white candy melting wafers. Begin by popping the popcorn kernels in an air popper. Then spread the popped corn on a baking sheet. Melt the candy wafers in the microwave and then carefully drizzle them over the popcorn. Add the crushed Oreo cookies to the popcorn mixture and then gently toss until combined. Refrigerate the mixture for about 10 minutes to set the chocolate and then go ahead and enjoy your tasty popcorn treat.
