white chocolate / cake batter popcorn

please forgive me as I haven't blogged in a while :)  I promise this one is worth the wait!!!!!!!! 

I introduce to you WHITE CHOCOLATE CAKE BATTER POPCORN! I saw the idea on pinterest of course and needed to make it for myself.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups of white chocolate chips

(2) 3.5 oz bags of original microwave popcorn

1/4 cup vegetable shortening

1 cup white cake mix

sprinkles  

Steps:

1. pop bags of popcorn in microwave and pour into big bowl (make sure to pick out all the un-popped kernels)

2. put the white chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl and melt the chips.  I did this in 30 second increments to prevent burning (took about a minute and a half)

3. mix the vegetable shortening into the melted chips

4. pour in the 1 cup of dry cake mix and stir till the clumps are gone 

5. dump over the popcorn and stir (I did this with my hands and it did get a little messy but you could always stir with a spoon or spatula)

6. sprinkle the sprinkles over the top 

7. let it sit for a while so the whole thing will harden

8. ENJOY!
