This Oreo Popcorn is a sweet and salty snack that will definitely have you wanting more. Popcorn coated in peanut butter white chocolate and chunks of Oreos – this is perfect for a group or movie night – or just for you if you don’t want to share.

This recipe is so simple because you can use whatever popcorn you have handy and then you just mix in your ingredients! I coarsely chopped my Oreos so that they are easy to eat along with the popcorn. 

A really fun part about this recipe is that you can add to it a bit! One of my favorite things is adding melted peanut butter along with the oreos to give that great chocolate peanut butter flavor, it is so good and I recommend trying it!

Ingredients needed

  • Microwave popcorn: Microwave popcorn is my favorite, but use whatever popcorn you would like – you can even pop your own
  • White candy melts (or Vanilla Candiquik or Almond Bark): To help the oreos mix in with the popcorn.
  • Oreos, coarsely chopped – any flavor!
  • Peanut Butter: For best results use no-stir peanut butter (not natural)

How to make Oreo Popcorn

  • Pop popcorn in microwave according to package directions. Remove popcorn from bag and place in a large bowl. Remove all unpopped kernels!
  • Place candy melts in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 1 minute. Stir, and add the peanut butter. Heat for about a minute more, stirring each 30 seconds. (Heating time will vary for different microwaves.) Once the peanut butter and the candy are melted together, pour over the popcorn. Stir carefully. Add chopped Oreos and stir once again.
  • Turn popcorn out onto a large cookie sheet lined with a silpat or parchment paper. Let cool until hardened (or place in the refrigerator until set). Store in an airtight container.

Recipe Notes

  • I like Ghiradelli candy melts the best (you can find them in the baking aisle). If you can’t find that, candiquick is the best alternative. I do not suggest using white chocolate chips.
  • Be sure to use a no-stir peanut butter (not natural).

  1. This looks delicious! I have made this without peanut butter before. I bet the addition of the peanut butter would take it to a whole new level!
