Nutella Popcorn
National Popcorn Day is here, and I’m celebrating with a sweet treat. What’s really cool about this recipe is that you can do this with peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, even cookie butter! The sky is the limit, and oh my goodness, this is fun to make.
Try this recipe out the next time you have a movie night in. I even have a savory option with my Browned Butter Popcorn recipe. Yum!
Nutella Popcorn
Did you know that you could make homemade popcorn and add just about anything you want to it? Sure, you can add M&Ms or Red Hots if you want, but what about Nutella? Yes! Nutella!
Ingredients
Nutella Popcorn
- 2 tablespoons oil (grapeseed, coconut, or avocado oil)
- 2/3 cup popcorn kernels
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1 1/2 cup mini marshmallows, divided
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted and chopped.
Instructions
- Place a large pot over medium heat and add oil. Pour popcorn kernels into pot and seal pot with a lid. Allow kernels to heat up while watching pot closely. Once the first 2-3 kernels begin popping, give the pot a light shake to allow kernels to toss around oil and continue to pop. Do not remove from heat while shaking. Continue lightly shaking the pot until the pot is full of popped kernels and you begin to hear the popping sound lessen. Carefully remove the lid, releasing steam.
- Pour kernels into a large bowl.
- Combine Nutella, butter, and 1/2 cup of marshmallows in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat mixture, in 30-second intervals, until melted.
- Working quickly, pour Nutella mixture over popcorn and toss with remaining marshmallows and hazelnuts. The Nutella mixture should be used directly from the microwave to ensure even distribution over popcorn.
- Enjoy!
Notes
This popcorn will last 2-3 days in an airtight container before it reaches a stale texture. I seriously doubt you’ll have any leftovers, though!
