How to Store Popcorn
How to Store Popcorn You will want to allow the popcorn to fully set up, then store in an airtight container or bag on the counter. I find it is great and if your home isn’t too hot you will have no issues as all. If you store the mixture in the fridge it can alter the texture of the popcorn.
You can freeze popcorn if you don’t eat it all right away. The texture will be slightly different once thawed but will taste delicious.
Swaps and Variations
- Use milk or semi-sweet chocolate instead of white chocolate.
- Opt for melt away mints that will give the popcorn softer texture.
- Stir in some mini chocolate chips for added texture and sweetness.
- Holiday sprinkles add more color to the dessert mint popcorn.
- Etc.
