This Nutella Popcorn is the perfect movie night snack. You won't be able to resist eating this sweet and salty treat.
Last week my husband asked me to make a sweet popcorn munch for one of his church meetings. He knows I love making popcorn munches.
I'm sure you have noticed how obsessed with fun popcorn I have become. Have you seen this Reese's Popcorn, this Coffee Toffee Popcorn, and this S'mores Popcorn. Yeah, I love creating (and eating) fun new popcorn.
I decided to cover this popcorn with a healthy coating of white chocolate and Nutella and some salt.
I couldn't stop eating handfuls of this while it was in our kitchen. Something kept drawing me back to the bowl for more and more. And for research purposes, I just kept munching. This Nutella Popcorn is magical I tell you!
I love a good sweet and salty treat, and this popcorn has both covered. The salt helps balance out the super sweet coating and M&M candies. I love how the candy gave it a fun and bright pop of color. This would be the perfect snack for watching the Oscars this weekend. You might want to make a double batch if you have anyone else watching with you. I know we will be munching the night away.
This popcorn would also make a great St. Patrick's day treat.
Yes, I know Valentine's just ended, but I was over the pink and red, so of course I thought of the next holiday. The best thing with this popcorn is that you can tint that extra drizzle of chocolate any color for any holiday. The M&M's can be changed out for the different holidays too. I just happen to love those plain mini M&M's...and it's what I had in the cupboard that day.
If you are giving this away for St. Patty's Day, place it in clear plastic bags or jars and tie with a ribbon or some green twine. Thank you Pick Your Plum for keeping me supplied with fun twine colors.
Game nights and marathon movies are the perfect excuse for making this big batch of Nutella Popcorn. Really it is a good snack any day or time of the week.

This is a great recipe. I am saving it to make latter! My son is addidicted to nutella! I make him peanut butter and nutella sandwichs for his lunch!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Too funny...my son just came home from school saying he had to have a pb and nutella sandwich. I'm thinking your son is going to love this popcorn!!!
Averie @ Averie Cooks
It's great your husband actually asks for things...mine is like pulling teeth. At least he eats whatever I made but I'd love some direction sometimes. Especially if it included Nutella and white chocolate in the directions!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Actually my hubby doesn't ask for things too often either, so when he does, I jump all over making it! He isn't that into sweets, so he doesn't really ever try the crazy things I make.

Jocelyn Brubaker
Out of Nutella? I don't know those words 🙂 I'm thinking you should definitely add Nutella to your shopping list this week...it sounds like your son needs popcorn 🙂
Michelle
Oh how awesome. I am craving this right now. I could easily eat an entire batch. I think I hate you just a little bit 😉 Good thing I gave up Nutella for Lent!
Jocelyn Brubaker
It is easy to eat the whole batch! Good for you and giving up Nutella, I'm not sure I could do that!!!

teresa
the fact that my husband is allergic to nutella is a tragedy beyond words 🙂 i'll just have to make this for a girl's night or something!
Wendy
This looks soooo crunchy, sweet, and delicious! The covered popcorn recipes I have tried before all get soggy by the next day. I can't figure out why you can buy caramel popcorn in bags at the supermarket, but my homemade caramel corn is a sticky mess the next day. I will definitely give this a try! I'd love to be able to mail some of this deliciousness to my son at college.
Tanya Schroeder
This is some seriously delicious looking popcorn! Can't believe you combine white chocolate AND Nutella! Oh my, of course you couldn't stop eating it! How could anyone NOT eat this!
carrian
I used to HATE popcorn, but I've totally become an addict this last year. It's so delicious, and easy!! Gah, thanks for feeding the craving 😉
