Orange Creamsicle Popcorn on RachelCooks.com

All the flavors of the classic summer treat — except in popcorn form. This orange creamsicle popcorn is a great treat any time of the year!

Hey y’all! Have you heard? I’m a huge popcorn fan.

Betcha never would have guessed. My instagram feed doesn’t give it away at all.  Not at all. Not even a little. Holy smokes I might have a problem.

Geez, guys. I feel a little bad now. I’ll try to at least change up my popcorn bowl every now and then for variety. No, that’s a lie. It needs to be the big silver bowl from my grandma. That is just the way popcorn has to be done.  Sorry. But I must admit, it was fun going through my old instagram photos. E when she was N’s age, N when he was just born and baby bump photos!

Almost makes me want baby #3. Almost.

Anyways, I also love all things creamsicle. Remember the creamsicle cookie bars and the creamsicle magic shell? Any time you add vanilla beans, I’m a happy girl.

As with all my recipes, this popcorn is so easy to make.

  • Pop popcorn. I always use mushroom popcorn for this recipe. It pops up nice and big and nice and round. This makes it perfect for coated popcorns (it’s not my every day popcorn) because it holds up to the weight and moisture of whatever you’re mixing in to your popcorn.
  • Melt white chocolate (vanilla candy coating).
  • Stir in orange zest and vanilla beans.
  • Coat the popcorn with the candy coating and let it cool slightly until hardened.

All the flavors of the classic summer treat -- except in popcorn form. This orange creamsicle popcorn is a great treat any time of the year!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
  • 16 ounces vanilla candy coating
  • scrapings of 1 vanilla bean
  • orange zest, from one large orange

Instructions

  • Pop corn using a hot air popper. Pick out any unpopped kernels (slightly time consuming but very important!!!).
  • Melt the candy coating according to direction packages until it is completely smooth. Stir in vanilla beans and orange zest until completely incorporated.
  • Pour melted candy coating mixture over the popcorn mixture and stir until everything is well coated. Spread onto a large sheet pan for candy coating to harden before serving immediately or storing in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

    Oh my gosh, this sounds awesome! I never think about playing around with popcorn flavors (I stick to truffle salt or caramel). Now you’ve inspired me to not only try this, but a world of other delicious popcorn flavors. Yum.

    Looks yummy, and I hate to ask, what is “vanilla candy coating”?

      This is what I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000V98Y3A/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000V98Y3A&linkCode=as2&tag=notracray-20&linkId=Y2FIT5QSBANKEEYX. It’s basically the same as what we know as white chocolate. :) (oh that’s an affiliate link, btw)
