Chocolate Lucky Charms Popcorn is fun to make and eat on movie nights. When combined with cereal, marshmallows, and candies, chocolate-covered popcorn becomes a charming treat.
If you love this cereal, then you have got to try these Lucky Charms cookies as well!
We have a new person in our house. His name is "I didn't do it". Sometimes, he even says, "It wasn't me".
All three kids have come to rely on him when something has happened that no one wants to claim. The problem is that "I didn't do it" and "It wasn't me" have been used so much lately that now everyone loses out when he shows up.
Losing technology is a great way to motivate "I didn't do it" to leave.
Who left the shower curtain open? "I didn't do it."
Who knocked over the shelf of books and videos? "It wasn't me."
Who ate all the marshmallows out of the cereal? "I didn't do it." "It wasn't me."
Hhhhmmm...I guess no one will be watching TV or playing video games for a very long time...or at least until this new person has left our house.
Gotta love in this day and age when losing technology is painful. It works better than any other punishment.
Luckily, I got to the box of Lucky Charms before anyone else this time. Those cute little marshmallows seem to disappear before anything else. Our boxes definitely never have enough of those fun marshmallows.
To entice everyone to eat the cereal, I covered it in white chocolate. Chocolate definitely makes everything better, even cereal.
Then, I tossed it with some chocolate-covered popcorn, those elusive marshmallows, and some green Sixlets. It is the perfect snack to munch on for movie night or whenever you have a sweet craving.
Feel free to use whatever chocolate you like on the popcorn. We like dark chocolate on this mix, but we also love the white chocolate on this Lucky Charms popcorn.
Just a warning: The marshmallows still disappear first in this, too. I'm guessing "I didn't do it" got to them first.

Growing up with five younger siblings, we had Not Me and I Don't Know living with us.

Haha, "I didn't do it" totally lives in our house too except it's my husband who says it and tries to blame it on our toddler tsk tsk 😉 Love this popcorn Jocelyn, so fun and dangerous at the same time 🙂
Rachel @ Baked by Rachel
My kids would love this!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Haha! Thank goodness we don't seem to have a problem with "I won't do it"! Our kids know better! 😉 Thanks Hayley!
Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel
Duuuuude, that person lives in my house, too! And it doubles as a moody sixteen year old girl half of the time. Sometimes, that person also invites the evil twin "I WON'T do it" along and that's even more fun. "Did you feed the dogs?" "No, I didn't, you can though!" RRRRR. NO POPCORN FOR YOU, evil twin!
BTW, this popcorn looks amazing!!
Julianne @ Beyond Frosting
If this entire batch of popcorn disappears…….It wasn't me. Although I wish it WAS.
Jocelyn Brubaker
Haha! Thanks girl! 🙂
Tieghan
Best popcorn ever. So fun!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Thanks Tieghan! 🙂
Lindsay @ Life, Love and Sugar
Ha! That's funny - I totally did it. 🙂 Ate those marshmallows right up as a kid too. This mix looks awesome Jocelyn!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Thanks Lindsay!

Thanks Jocelyn! 🙂

I guess the I didn't do it is in our house too!! When I wanted to bake with lucky charms I had to go buy the cereal in the morning and bake with it right away because the same thing happens over here! Love this snack!!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Thanks Nancy! 😉
Amanda
You popcorns are so awesome. Love this one too! 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker
Thanks Amanda! 🙂
annie
Oh no! I think that person sometimes us as well. It Wasn't Me will probably eat handfuls of this and get it crumbs everywhere and then grudgingly pull out the vacuum. It's much harder to throw blame when there's only two of us!
It Wasn't Me loves that you combined chocolate and lucky charms. This would be gone from our house in a day. We're mad for chocolate-covered snack mixes.
Jocelyn Brubaker
Haha! 🙂 Thanks Annie!
katie
Ha ha... your kids will eventually fess up especially taking away the technology! This looks divine!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Exactly our plan! 😉 Thanks Katie!
Zainab @ Blahnik Baker
Hahah "I didn't do it" also lives in my house but there is only two of us here so clearly the hubs got explaining to do when the Reese's cup go missing. I love the clusters of marshmallows here and all the chocolate over the popcorn. This will be dangerous.
Jocelyn Brubaker
That "guy" seems to visit everyone, lol! Thanks Zainab! 🙂
Katy
The marshmallows are the best! For another marshmallow treat, try the Goldfish Grahams S'mores flavor. That being said, this looks so much better 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker
Mmmm, that would be tasty! 😉 Thanks Katy!
Sarah @ Miss CandiQuik
This looks yummy! I secretly love eating the marshmallows in the Lucky Charms box - good thing I don't keep them around typically, haha. Great St. Patty's day treat! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker
Haha! Thanks Sarah! 😉
Jessica @ A Kitchen Addiction
What a brilliant idea for popcorn! I'd need to make a double batch just so I could get some from my husband!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Haha! Thanks Jessica!
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust
Those fellas visit our house quite frequently. It's really annoying. I think I need this popcorn to make me feel better!
tanya
I had to stop buying Lucky Charms because the marshmallows get picked out and no none wants to eat the cereal! Drives me nuts! And yes, the threat of losing technology does wonders! This is too fun Jocelyn! There is something for everyone in this popcorn!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Thanks Tanya! 🙂
