Sweet and Salty White Popcorn

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup olive oil, See Notes
• 1 cup corn kernels, blue or yellow, See Notes
• 1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
• 2 tablespoons melted butter, optional
• 10 Ghirardelli white melting wafers
• 2-3 tablespoons nonpareils

Equipment

• 12-inch covered skillet, a deep skillet is best
• microwave-safe bowl
• large serving bowl

Direction

1. Pour oil into the skillet; Use more if necessary, to coat the bottom. Add the popcorn kernels, and place the lid on the skillet.
2. Place over medium-low heat on the stovetop. Shake pan occasionally, until kernels begin to pop, then shake frequently until you can no longer hear kernels popping.
3. Remove pan from heat, uncover, and sprinkle popcorn with sea salt and melted butter if desired. Toss to coat.
4. Melt the white chocolate wafers according to package instructions.
5. Transfer the popcorn to a large serving bowl, discarding any unpopped kernels. Drizzle with white chocolate and toss to coat. Sprinkle with nonpareils.
6. Enjoy immediately for a warm, gooey treat or allow it to cool completely for the chocolate to harden on the popcorn.
