- 12 oz (340g) white chocolate chips or melts
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries (or strawberry powder)
- Valentine’s Day sprinkles (optional, for decoration)

- Pop the Popcorn: Pop the popcorn using your preferred method. Set aside in a large bowl.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Melt white chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth. Add vanilla extract if desired.
- Coat the Popcorn: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the popcorn and stir to coat evenly.
- Add Strawberry Flavor: Sprinkle freeze-dried strawberry powder over the coated popcorn and stir to combine. Drizzle with strawberry syrup for added flavor if desired.

Notes
