Today, I have a fun Valentines Day Popcorn Recipe for you. It is an easy to make Pink Chocolate Covered Popcorn snack with Valentine M&Ms.
This Valentine’s Day Popcorn recipe is quite easy to make. It only takes a few minutes, but the results are a fun Valentine Treat both kids and adults will enjoy. The pink chocolate covered popcorn with M&Ms is equally perfect for a kids Valentine’s Day Party, as it is for a romantic movie night for the grown-ups… after the children are snug in their beds.
Valentine’s Day popcorn is both a sweet and salty snack to celebrate the holiday with. I personally love the way the salty popcorn counters the sweet chocolate flavor.

PINK CHOCOLATE COVERED VALENTINES DAY POPCORN RECIPE
The Valentines Day Popcorn recipe is made with chocolate candy melts. The melts are first drizzled on the popcorn and tossed to make the pink chocolate covered popcorn. White chocolate candy melts are then drizzled over the popcorn and topped with Valentine sprinkles and M&Ms.
I prefer to serve the Valentine’s Popcorn on a platter, since all the preparation other than coating the popcorn in pink chocolate can be done right on the platter. I think it makes a nice presentation, but if you will be placing in individual bowls or bags, then using a baking sheet will work just as well.
