Here’s the next pina colada recipe for you: Pina Colada Popcorn Mix! It definitely combines a summery punch of flavors and my favorite snack, popcorn. Plus, Cinco de Mayo is coming up, and I know that everyone chugs margaritas on that day, but I feel like pina coladas are equally festive, and transport you to the beach in Mexico. So, lap up the beach with this little number.
*The dried pineapple I buy comes in pretty large chunks, so I chop it up into smaller pieces to make it go further!
~Air pop the kernels and spread out the popcorn on a piece of parchment on the countertop.
~Sprinkle the dried pineapple evenly over the popcorn. Then, drizzle on the white chocolate. Finally, add the coconut flakes (and sea salt if you love a salty-sweet bite). Use a silicone spatula to carefully turn and stir the popcorn a little to distribute the white chocolate a little (it won’t coat the entire batch of popcorn, just cling to parts of each kernel). Let set for approximately 20-30 min…enjoy!
Yum! I love popcorn, so I’m sure I’d love this. And I have some vegan white chocolate chips just dying to be used.
As for Cinco de Mayo, it falls on Memphis In May Music Fest weekend this year, so I’ll probably be celebrating with cheap beer and lots of mud.
I will probably venture out a bit during Music Fest, but probably won’t get deep enough in the mud when that time comes 🙂
