Valentine Confetti

I promise you’ll thank me later for this!  This Valentine Confetti is so good & addicting!

Valentine Confetti

Edited to add:  This Valentine Confetti is an older post, that I published in 2011!  Yes, I’ve been around that long.  This recipe has gone viral with good reason!  Because it is so delicious!

Here are a few things I would like to add:

*You may use any white chocolate melting chips you can find.  I happened to have the white chocolate confetti chips on hand, and that’s what I used.  But any white chocolate will do just fine.

*You will need to make this Valentine Confetti the “day of” – it will not keep or store.  I have found through the years and for best results to make it the day of.  Trust me it’s worth it!  I have also found through the years that this makes the best “snow day” treat as well.

Here’s the steps in pictures:

Valentine Confetti

Confetti Bliss!
Just so you know, popcorn, M&M’s & jelly beans rank really high in our house & are considered staples. I saw this recipe somewhere last year right after Valentine’s. For the life of me, I can’t remember where, but knew immediately is would be a huge hit in our house. It is heavenly. Well, that is if you like a salty & sweet combo – who doesn’t right???
For the record I used:
1 bag of M&M’s
*Almost* 2 bags of Orville Redenbacher’s microwaveable Tender White Popcorn
TIPS:
*Spread on large baking sheet to allow time to dry before placing it in bags.
*After I saw this last year, I realized this could be used for any holiday. Because M&M/Mars goes seasonal in color for every holiday.
Don’t ya just love it when a company is just as seasonal as us bloggers???

  43. I found you through Tidy Mom, I’m not sure my thighs are happy about it. 🙂 This looks like a great teacher gift for Valentines, thanks so much!!

  44. This is absolutely adorable … and easy … which is the best combination in my book.

    One little note: about a year ago, I choked on popcorn and my husband had to save me – I could not get a breath and it was very scary! Please watch little kiddos carefully when they are munching on popcorn!

  54. Can’t wait to make this for Vday parties! I also need to know how many bags you got out of these quantities of ingredients. Please let me know asap 🙂 THANKS!

  57. YUMMMMMMY!
    This looks MAGIC!

    Yummy!
    xo

  59. OMG!! This is the best treat every and it is so simple and fast to make. And EVERYONE love it. I have made it a few times now and has been a huge hit with everyone – kids and adults alike! Thanks for sharing

  69. I’m thinking of making a class set for my students for Valentine’s day. About how many bags did this recipe make, and about how much is in each bag?

  80. This is good stuff! For those who asked, I doubled this recipe and I will have enough for 20 students (and my bags are not as stuffed as the picture here). And if you’re thinking of using red melts for creative freedom, I wouldn’t suggest it. Looks like bloody popcorn and you can’t see the m&ms as much 🙂

  84. I am making this today for my 3 y/o son’s valentine party. I made ‘monster box’ that I also found on Pintrest so I am using multicolored m’s to go with it and bagging it tying with ribbon and calling it ‘monster munch’! My son is SO excited to take it to school! Thanks for the GREAT IDEA! 😀

  85. I just found this yummy treat on Pinterest and visited your blog and I love it! It is so GOOD and both my kids and husband loved it! I had to make double batches as only one batch gave me 5 bags filled about the same as in the pic! So two batches give you about 10 bags! These are my teachers’ treats from the kids for Valentine’s Day! Thanks so much for sharing!

  88. I made this with 1/2 cup air popped popcorn and peanut butter valentine m&ms and it is SO good! I’ll be making more batches for my son’s popcorn themed birthday party.
