Specialty Ingredients:
The following ingredients are affiliate links on Amazon because they may be a bit hard to find in your normal store. I wanted you to be able to see exactly which things we are using.
White Chocolate Chips – You can use any brand you prefer. I am a Nestle Toll-house lover myself. You could also use bark if you prefer.
Large Marshmallows – The marshmallows make this recipe, I think. Such a yummy, creamy, flavor.
Pink Sugar Crystals – I especially love these bright pink sugar crystals from Wilton.
Valentine Sprinkles – Choose the ones you like.
Optional – to really up the Valentine’s Day factor of this white chocolate popcorn mix, you could add in some fun conversation hearts.
Reminder, not all ingredients in the Valentine Sugar Cookie Popcorn Recipe are linked above, just the ones that may be a bit difficult to find or that you might be unsure of what to look for.
Must Have Resources:
When making this popped popcorn sweet treat at home, you really need to have the following Amazon affiliate tools on hand.
Cookie Sheet – Any cookie sheet will do. I just like these. 🙂
Parchment Paper – Before you spread the popcorn on your large baking sheet, be sure to cover it with parchment paper or waxed paper. Either will make clean up a breeze, but will also allow the valentine’s day snack to release easily without you having to spread melted butter anywhere!
Cookie Cutters – I love this Valentine’s Day set. But, if you are just going to break the cookies into pieces, I guess you don’t need to make fun shapes…
Medium Microwaveable Bowl – Whether using chocolate chips, bark, or candy melts, you will have to melt it. I like my set of glass bowls for microwaving. So much easier than a double boiler.
Large Mixing Bowl – You will need to mix the popcorn in a large bowl once you pour the melted chocolate on it. I especially love my set like this. The rubber bottom keeps the bowls from sliding around when you are trying to mix stuff.

Valentine Sugar Cookie Popcorn Recipe
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 Cup(s) popped popcorn
- ⅔ Cup(s) white chocolate chips
- 12-14 large marshmallows
- Pillsbury ready to bake sugar cookie dough OR 5-6 large sugar cookies crushed
- Pink sugar crystals
- Valentine sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Cut 5-6 (1 inch) slices out of the cookie dough roll and place on the lined cookie sheet.
- Flatten the dough with the bottom of a glass to help the dough spread out. (I used a heart cookie cutter to make heart shapes but you can also just leave them as is).
- Sprinkle with pink sugar crystals and bake according to package directions. Once cooled, crush the sugar cookies into crumbs and set aside.
- Add the white chocolate chips and marshmallows to a medium microwave safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 45 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir. Continue to microwave in 15 second increments until completely melted and smooth.
- Add the popcorn to a large mixing bowl and pour the melted white chocolate and marshmallow mixture on top of the popcorn. Immediately sprinkle with the crushed sugar cookies and the valentine sprinkles.
- Toss to coat and spread the popcorn out evenly on a cookie sheet and allow to “set” for about 10 minutes.
- Break the popcorn into bite-size pieces and ENJOY!!
