Looking for a fun popcorn to eat while watching a movie or t.v. this weekend? Brownie Batter Cookie Dough Popcorn might just be the fun chocolate covered popcorn you have been waiting for.
It’s no secret that I love chocolate covered popcorns. I mean, you have seen this Reese’s Popcorn and this Almond Joy Popcorn right? Popcorn coated in chocolate and filled with candy and marshmallows is definitely my favorite snack to make in a hurry. Plus, it is a no bake recipe. As we head into the summer months, those are great recipes to have on hand for days when it is too hot to turn on the oven.
Have you seen this cookie dough bites candy? I found them in my local Walmart’s candy aisle with the movie box candies. Word of warning…I found some cookie dough bites at the Dollar Tree…not good! Trust me and buy the ones from Walmart:-)
Another word of warning…buy an extra box of cookie dough bites because when you taste test them (and you will) there won’t be any left to put in your popcorn.
This popcorn is really so easy to make. First make your popcorn. We have a Whirly Pop and we absolutely love how the popcorn comes out of it. But you could definitely use microwave popcorn too. Then you melt up some CandiQuik to cover the popcorn with. In my recipe I used two kinds of CandiQuik…it was actually because that was all I had left in my cupboard at the time. But it turned out so perfect and delicious that I decided that was the way it needed to stay. Using a little of both gave it the chocolate color and taste, but it didn’t overwhelm the brownie mix.
Now I ‘m sure you are wondering what to do with the extra brownie mix…don’t you worry your pretty little head. Keep reading…I have four other recipes at the bottom of this post that you can use the brownie mix in 🙂
I found these cute little chalkboard boxes at Target last week. I knew right away that I wanted to decorate it with some washi tape and these cute Flowers Detailz Dies from Lifestyle Crafts. I know this isn’t the greatest picture of the flower, but if you look really closely you can see how the flower is embossed around the edges and center. I used two of the dies and layered them for a fuller flower. I also added a polkadot brad and curled the edges of the center flower for some more pop. These boxes are perfect for filling with any popcorn mix. Make sure to put the popcorn in a plastic bag before handing out though.

Chocolate covered popcorn gets another hit of chocolate from the brownie mix that is added to the chocolate. Cookie dough bites and mini chocolate chips add to the chocolate factor.
Ingredients
- 8 cups popped popcorn
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup dry brownie mix
- 5 oz. vanilla CandiQuik
- 5 oz. chocolate CandiQuik
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup cookie dough candy bites
- 1/4 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Combine the popcorn and marshmallows in a large bowl. Set aside. Place both flavors of CandiQuik in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat until melted and smooth. Add the dry brownie mix to the melted chocolate and stir until dissolved. Pour over the popcorn. Toss with your hands until everything is coated. Stir in the cookie dough bites and the chocolate chips.
- Pour the coated popcorn onto a large baking sheet that is covered with parchment paper. Sprinkle the sprinkles over the popcorn before it sets up. Let set before breaking into chunks. Store in a sealed container on the counter for 3-4 days. Makes 10 cups of popcorn.

May 16, 2013 at 12:50 PMWow – this looks so indulgent! What a great recipe.
Moira says
May 17, 2013 at 1:23 AMIf my kids were still 5 and 7 I might consider this recipe for a birthday. But otherwise its a batch of junk we shouldn’t be pairing together. Microwave popcorn and candy and processed brownie mix ? Apologies for my lack of preference.
Jocelyn Brubaker says
May 20, 2013 at 11:49 AMEveryone is entitled to their own opinions about food! Sorry you don’t find this appealing, but my kids (and I) absolutely loved it!
melody says
May 29, 2013 at 5:14 PMwhat is candiquick?? I am from Canada never heard of that before =/
melody says
May 29, 2013 at 5:16 PMnever mind on the Candiquick question. I read earlier posts =]
Jocelyn Brubaker says
May 29, 2013 at 9:45 PMI’m glad you were able to see earlier comments and know what CandiQuik is 🙂 Do you have any other kind of melting chocolate in Canada?
melody says
May 30, 2013 at 1:20 AMyes jocelyn we have other melting chocolate. i cant wait to make this on the weekend!! thx =]
Vic says
October 28, 2017 at 12:17 PMOMG this looks delicious and I can’t wait to try it, where did you get the cookies dough bites?
Jocelyn says
October 28, 2017 at 1:57 PMI found them in the candy aisle at Walmart. They are in the $1 boxes of movie candy! I hope you are able to find them.
