Chocolatey Butterscotch Popcorn! A sweet and salty treat that you won’t be able to stop eating. White Chocolate and Butterscotch Morsels mixed with popcorn, Rice Krispies and topped with Chocolate.
Someone call 911 because my taste buds just exploded! This Chocolatey Butterscotch Popcorn is the best thing to happen to me in months! Butterscotch morsels melted with white chocolate, popcorn and Rice Crispies topped with chocolate and sea salt…BAM!! OMG so good! Like I said this stuff is serious. You must absolutely, positively try it…
The inspiration for this recipe was found in the Pediatricians office. An old, outdated pregnancy magazine with Kourtney Kardashian on the cover…slim pickins at the doctors… But who isn’t fascinated by anything Kardashian?! So I skimmed through it only to get totally lost in a popcorn recipe.
Popcorn VS. Kardashian’s …Popcorn WINS!
Needless to say, the recipe wheels started to turn and I knew I had to make some yummy popcorn very soon. So I discretely ripped the page out {please tell me you do this too?} and stuffed it in my purse. And I’m so glad I did because this stuff is AMAZE-A-BALLS!
The best part? You only need to know how to make popcorn and melt chocolate in a microwave. That’s it.
The white chocolate and butterscotch morsels are sweet and delish and the semi sweet chocolate and sea salt balance the sweetness of the popcorn.
Oh! And there’s Rice Krispies in there! Which adds extra texture and crunch
So go ahead, make it! You’ll be in love.
