Neapolitan Sundae Popcorn

Inspired by the classic flavors of Neapolitan ice cream, this homemade popcorn recipe is a delightful fusion of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry flavors drizzled over fluffy popcorn kernels.

The creamy texture of the melted candy melts is perflected contrasted by the crunchy sprinkles and mini marshmallows and the chewy, crunchy popcorn.

Kids will have a blast both making and munching on this delightful snack – whether you’re whipping them up for a cozy family movie night or planning to serve them at a party. They’d also make a great option for a bake sale or a thoughtful homemade gift.

Feel free to swap out our suggested “ice cream toppings” of sprinkles and mini marshmallows for your own personal favorite ice cream toppings – crushed nuts, dried fruit, chocolate chips, caramel bits, etc. Anything goes!
