One day, while I was expecting my second son, I came to work and was surprised with a little baby shower. It was such a treat! There were great homemade gifts and plenty of yummy food. One of the biggest hits of the party was this delicious popcorn, made by RuthAnn. She was kind enough to to share her recipe with me and now I am going to show you how to make it.
First, gather your ingredients. You will need:
4 oz. bag of chopped pecans
12 oz. bag of white chocolate chips
1 1/2 bags of microwave popcorn
a little cinnamon (sorry I didn’t measure)
6 oz. bag of dried cranberries
Pop your popcorn. Mine was very lightly buttered. That’s okay.
Melt your white chocolate on the stove over a very low heat. Stir often. Chocolate burns easily.
Drizzle the chocolate over your popcorn.
Add the remaining ingredients.
I stamped my co-worker‘s names on envelopes. Then made my envelopes into little popcorn bags, using this tutorial from How About Orange. So fun and easy. Yay, I Made It!

Thanks, Jessica. When I brought the little bags to my co-workers they were surprised the bags were made out of envelopes. Watch out the popcorn is really addicting!
Mariel says

Maria says
Thank you, Mariel. It has been a lot of fun. Your blog is full of so much great information!

oh yummers, I might just have to run to the store and make myself a HUGE batch of this to console myself that the kids are going back to school… sob, sob MUNCH… yeah, that will make it all better… even if I do have to run 237 miles to burn it off 🙂

It tastes better if you don’t think about the calories. You can also use almond bark on popcorn instead of white chocolate but after looking at the nutrition facts on that stuff, I definitely recommend the white chocolate.
