White Chocolate Valentine Popcorn
Every holiday I make themed treats, and every holiday my poor son (who is gluten free) ends up with gluten free brownies while we eat all the cute goodies. So for Valentines day I am putting my foot down. He will have the cute themed treat!
I know we have a couple weeks yet, but I had to do a test run to make sure it tastes ok. LOL So we busted out the great popcorn maker that Santa brought this year. Half the fun is watching it pop the corn!
Gluten free or not, this is some seriously addictive good stuff! I will work out a little extra tomorrow to make up for it, because I just can’t resist it! Don’t forget to check out all the great dessert recipes here on A Few Short Cuts! There are some really good ones!

Can I use the regular chocolate chips?
Yes you can. I just chose white chocolate to get that valentines look 🙂 You can also add sprinkles, pretzels, whatever you want to make it your own mix. It is super!
I LOVE this! My son is autistic and we are trying some Gluten free things, so this is great! Thanks!
Good luck! My son is not autistic, but when we did realize he was allergic and changed his diet it changed his behavior dramatically for the better! 🙂
My kids are drooling over this recipe! Unfortunately, my daughter has a corn allergy, but the M&M’s are allowed so she will get those and the twins can dig into the good stuff!
I found out about my celiac sprue about a year ago and LOVE any ideas for fun tasty gluten free snacks! I alway share with my 6 yr old nephew who is in the same boat!
I featured your recipe on my blog:

These was a huge hit when I made it for my son’s daycare teachers. They were all asking me for recipe. Also, I used Almond Bark instead of the white chocolate, already had it on hand. If you us that instead you need to omit the oil, it is not needed when you use almond bark. Thanks for the great recipe!
