Easy Cookies and Cream Popcorn Recipe
Can you believe I’ve never posted a simple and fun popcorn recipe on The Cookie Rookie?! What have I been thinking? We are a family that LOVES Netflix, binge watching our favorite shows, and going to movies, and popcorn is a big part of that equation.
This popcorn recipe is one of the few recipes that my husband Pat requests time and time again, and it makes me so happy! I feel silly even making a proper recipe post for it, because honestly, it’s that easy. It’s simply popping some corn, coating it in white chocolate, and sprinkling in some crushed cookies. How simple is that?
Something about the simple flavors of cookies and cream just keeps me coming back for more; it’s so addictive! For a slightly healthier version, I’ll use almond bark, and sometimes I’ll switch things up with other chocolate flavors, or different cookie varieties—the sky is the limit!

How to Make Cookies and Cream Popcorn Step by Step
Pop the popcorn: Prepare one bag of microwave popcorn and set it aside in a large bowl.
Prep the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 2 tsp of oil and 1½ cups of white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted. This usually takes me about 1 1/2 minutes.
Pour the chocolate: Pour the melted white chocolate over the popcorn and stir to fully coat.
Transfer the popcorn: Spread the popcorn out on a baking sheet and sprinkle with 10 crumbled Oreo cookies and a few extra white chocolate chips.
Refrigerate: Put the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes so the chocolate hardens.
Transfer to a bowl and serve: Pour the Oreo and white chocolate popcorn into a bowl to eat right away, or put it into an airtight container to save it for later.
How to Store
Store uneaten popcorn in an airtight container on the kitchen counter for up to 1 week. If it lasts that long!
Serving Suggestions
We love having garlic bread pizza for our movie nights — it’s one of those easy, cozy dinners everyone gets excited about. Sometimes I’ll switch things up with a cauliflower crust for a lighter, veggie-packed option that still tastes amazing. And every now and then, we go all in and make calzones for a fun twist.
I love this recipe for cookies and cream popcorn It’s soooo good! I like it frozen. It’s sweet and a little salty….. my bag of popcorn maybe wasn’t as big as yours, so I just melted 1c of white choc chips instead of a cup and a half. I added 5 more crushed cookies to it. It’s amazing. The best doctored up popcorn ever!
It’s amazing! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow that looks great!
A really fun and yummy play on this is to add broken up fritos to the popcorn and white chocolate. It gives you that salty-sweet deliciousness!
Delicious, easy and fun! Love it!
I can’t wait to try. Will be making tonight.
