Blue Ribbon Recipe

Toffee is a yummy snack. It's buttery, nutty flavor just melts in your mouth. Drizzling sweet and smooth white chocolate over it, brings this toffee to a new level. We love the festiveness the green food coloring brings to this delicious treat. You could customize the colors based on different holidays, a favorite color, school colors, etc. The options are endless! The Test Kitchen

How to Make St. Patrick's Day Toffee Popcorn w/White Chocolate

Step-by-Step

Mix together the sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt.
Boil on medium heat until temperature on a candy thermometer reaches 300 degrees (hard crack).
Remove from heat. Add vanilla and green food coloring.
Pour the hot toffee over popped popcorn and mix well. After you have mixed it, break it up some and place it on a cookie sheet. Let it cool completely.
Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave (COOK ONLY FOR 1 MINUTE OR YOU WILL COOK IT TOO LONG). Stir it until the chips are all smooth. Place it in a sandwich bag and snip a TINY hole in one corner. Drizzle it over the popcorn. Let it set for the chocolate to harden. Store in airtight continer.
You can use milk chocolate also or a mixture of both is really good too.
