Why you’ll love this family favorite recipe!
Popcorn is basically a requirement for movie night in my house. My kids won’t even start the movie until the popcorn is ready. Most nights it’s just a simple bowl of popcorn, but for birthdays, sleepovers, or family movie nights, You can make something a little more fun.
That’s how this Oreo Popcorn became a regular thing around here. I had already made my chocolate popcorn plenty of times, but it takes a bit more time and effort. One night I needed something faster, looked in the pantry, and saw a pack of Oreos and white chocolate chips. I figured cookies and cream popcorn had to be good.
It was better than good.
My kids lost their minds over it.
Now this Oreo Popcorn is one of those treats I make when I want something fast, fun, and guaranteed to disappear. It takes just a few ingredients, no baking at all, and the white chocolate sets up quickly so it’s ready to eat in no time.
Ingredients In Oreo Popcorn
| Ingredient | Tips or Swaps |
|---|---|
| Plain popcorn | Use plain or lightly salted popcorn only. Buttered or flavored popcorn can taste off. |
| Oreos | Pulse the entire Oreo, no need to remove creme filling. No blender or food processor? Use a plastic bag and crush. |
| White chocolate chips | Use good-quality chips for smoother melting and better flavor. |
| Vegetable oil | Helps the chocolate melt smoothly. Can swap with coconut oil if desired. |
Quick Tip
Be careful when melting chocolate. If a drop of water gets in it, it may seize–get hard and grainy. If it’s overheated, it may turn cloudy and sticky. Going slowly and gradually is the best way to prevent ruined chocolate!
Variations
- Use this recipe with Golden Oreos instead of chocolate for a vanilla flavor.
- Add in a handful of mini chocolate chips along with the crushed Oreos.
- Drizzle milk or semi-sweet chocolate on top of the popcorn once it’s spread out on the tray for an even richer treat.
- Holiday inspired: Try this Christmas, Halloween, Easter, Valentines, or 4th of July version.
Storage
Oreo popcorn can go stale quickly if left uncovered.
- Store leftovers in a large zip-top bag, removing as much air as possible. Keep in a cool, dry, dark spot.
- Best enjoyed within 3–5 days.
- Freeze for longer storage. It freezes great. Enjoy straight from the freezer for a satisfying treat.
Quick Tip
Quick Kernel Removal Idea: Set a wire cooling rack over a tray and pour the popcorn on top. The unpopped kernels fall through. Scoop up the popcorn and toss the kernels.
