Hey hey hey! Who here loves popcorn? It is one of my greatest loves. I eat popcorn almost every day. The reasons I love popcorn are three-fold: it is delicious, it is cheap, and it is easy. Have you ever considered serving popcorn at a party? I just decided that a popcorn topping bar is a genius idea, because it is a super affordable way to fill up a crowd. Not only that, but popcorn topping possibilities are endless. Today I am sharing how to put together a quick, sweet popcorn topping bar and will show y'all just a few of my favorite fancy popcorn toppings.
POPCORN TOPPING BAR
So, make a big batch of popcorn, gather up some cupcake liners (bigger is better) and small bowls. You'll also want some kind of bags or cups for people to put their popcorn in. I found these sweet striped popcorn favor boxes at the party store for about .15 cents each.
POPCORN TOPPING IDEAS
Fill your liners and cups with as many kinds of sprinkles, chocolate candy, cookies, etc. - whatever you think would be good. Make a batch of Aunt Val's Caramel & melt some white chocolate too.
Best popcorn toppings:
Caramel - this recipe is the best!
White chocolate
Regular Chocolate
Crushed oreos
Peanut M&M's
Sprinkles
Marshmallows
Cookies
Cereal
Reeses Minis

DO you have to worry about the Carmel or white CHOCOLATE getting hard if it's sitting out for over an hour?
And I am guessing the are pretty messy.....?

The CArAMEL RECIPE WE HAVE LINKED STAYS SOFT SO THAT DEFINITELY WON'T GET HARd. WHITE CHOCOLATE WOULD SO YOU WOULD WANT TO KEEP IT IN A WARMER LIKE A SMALL CROCKPOT OR FONDUE POT IF YOU WEREN'T SERVING IT ALL AT ONCE. :)

Super cute! I did a popcorn bar for my sister-in-laws shower, but instead of all the sweets we did the salty flavours (bbq, dill, salt & vinegar, etc)... I never thought to add sweet options!

Okay that is a genius idea!

Do they not all just fall to the bottom?

Peanut M&Ms are my go-to for mixing with popcorn, but I also like plain chocolate chips which tend to melt over the popcorn...MMMmmm. Never thought of this for a party spread though, thank you for the great idea!
