This looks so cute and tasty! Valentine’s Day is coming, just can’t wait!
This recipe has been printed! Thank you for this cute and tasty idea. My kids are going to love me this Valentines day!
Can’t wait to make these with the kids tonight. Just one question, about how many servings/baggies will one batch make? Thanks! <3
Our kids love popcorn. Covered with sprinkles is even better! Can’t wait to make! Thanks for sharing!
I was wondering if you are stating 14 cups of Popped corn, or 14 cups of un-popped popcorn
14 cups of popped corn 🙂
This looks amazing! I am planning to make for both my kids classes (24 kids/class). Howmany batches do you think I need?
Depending on what size containers to use to package them… if you use one cup per each kid, you’d have to make at least four batches. 🙂
Can you substitute coconut oil for butter? Has anyone tried this? These look super yummy!!!
I haven’t tried but maybe someone else has?
I made this today. They are cute and easy. I love that they are sweet but not super sweet – they’re just right! I might have gone too slowly. They second half of the sprinkles didn’t stick.
These look delicious! What type of popcorn works best? Plain or buttered?
Both will work! I usually use butter since that’s what I normally have on hand. 🙂
absolutely LOVE your ideas! how do you create your tags? I see that you offer the free downloadable which i soooo appreciate… but id there a certain software you use?
We use photoshop and also canva which is a free one 🙂
Can you use microwave popcorn? How far in advance can these be made?
Yes you can definitely use microwave popcorn! They are best the first couple of days.
Can I use already made popcorn? If not, how many boxes/packs of popcorn does it take for you to make this recipe?
Yes of course! You can use pre-popped or bagged popcorn. Whichever is your preference. 🙂
Wow! This seriously is great. Just don’t forget to take out the extra kernels haha! It tasted so good, my whole family loved them. I will say they were best the day of, they don’t stay too good for that much longer, they get kind of chewy but they still tasted great! Thanks so much!
