Zebra popcorn is an easy oven baked caramel corn that’s drizzled with milk chocolate and white chocolate for the ultimate popcorn recipe!

I’m a huge fan of sweet gourmet popcorn recipes! Homemade gourmet popcorn makes a great gift, a fun addition to a cookie tray, and it’s the perfect moving-watching snack.

This zebra popcorn recipe was based on my easy homemade caramel corn recipe. It takes that buttery homemade caramel corn one step farther by adding a drizzles of melted white chocolate and milk chocolate.

The result is a delicious popcorn that’s hard to put down!

How to make zebra popcorn

Add the popcorn to a greased baking pan. Place in the oven while you make the caramel.

To make the caramel, add the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt to a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

Once at a boil, stop stirring and let boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda and vanilla.

Pour the caramel over the warm popcorn. Toss to coat the popcorn. The popcorn won’t be entirely coated.

Bake for 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.

Once the popcorn has cooled to room temperature, drizzle the popcorn with the melted milk chocolate almond bark. Then drizzle thepocpron with melted white chocolate almond bark.

Let the almond bark set before serving.

How to store

This popcorn should be stored in an airtight container. The popcorn will keep at room temperature for up to 4 days.
