    What are you doing for the 4th of July weekend? Hopefully making this popcorn to take to where ever it is you're going. 🙂 People will be snacking on this all day, you might want to make two batches of it. Just be sure to check for popcorn seeds, because sometimes you will get that one that just didn't pop and you bite down on it, and hope your teeth don't fall out. Oops.

    Why You Will Like This Recipe

    Remember during Christmas when I made Christmas Crunch popcorn? That same popcorn recipe can be used for any Holiday.

    Just change up the colors of sprinkles and colored M&M's and you got yourself some festive tasty popcorn for the Holidays. I love this popcorn recipe. The sweet almond bark, salty popcorn, and peanut M&M's give this popcorn a sweet and salty combo.

    Ingredients Needed for Red, White, and Blue Popcorn

    • 6 cups of popped popcorn
    • 8 ounces of almond bark, melted (i used about half the package)
    • 4 ounces of almond bark (dyed blue)
    • 1 bag of Red, Blue and White peanut M&M candies
    • red, white, and blue sprinkles
    • parchment paper

    How to make Red, White, and Blue Popcorn

    Step 1 Microwave all the popcorn and add to a large bowl and set aside.

    Step 2 Melt the almond bark in a microwave safe bowl. Add the melted bark to the popped pop corn and stir until all the popcorn is evenly coated. Add in the candies and sprinkles. Fold or stir them into the popcorn.

    Step 3 Lay out the popcorn on a very large sheet tray coated with parchment paper. Drizzle the milk blue almond bark with a fork over the popcorn to make it look like swirls.

    Store in very large gallon size freezer bags to keep fresh.

    How do I store leftovers?

    Once food has cooled, transfer leftovers into airtight containers. Glass containers are a great choice as they are non-porous and don't absorb odors or stains. If you prefer plastic, make sure it's BPA-free and food-grade.

     Label the containers with the date to keep track of how long the food has been stored. Most leftovers are best consumed within three to four days.
