Love Crunch

Love crunch is the perfect Valentine’s Day treat to make and give everyone! I’m talking teacher’s gifts, class Valentine’s Day parties, neighbors, family, friends, really anyone to let them know you are thinking of them! Made with 4 ingredients, which you might already have in your pantry, it comes together in under 15 minutes.

Kid’s in the kitchen?! Yes, please!

This is a fun and delicious treat for kids to get involved in making! My children love drizzling the chocolate over the popcorn and adding all the sprinkles. Plus it’s always nice to have extra hands packaging up all the gifts!

What you need:

Popcorn: To make this recipe super easy, use precooked popcorn. You will need plain popcorn with no flavoring like butter, cheese, etc.

White Chocolate Chips: White chocolate chips can be a little fussy when heating them up. Make sure to do it on 30 second increments at 50% power. Stir between each time until the white chocolate is fully melted

M&Ms: I love using the M&Ms cupid mix milk chocolate to give it all the beautiful Valentine’s day colors

Sprinkles: Get creative, whatever Valentine’s day sprinkles you like, use! I used heart shaped sprinkles and nonpareils in pink, red, and white here
