I’m a big fan of white chocolate and prefer it over dark, milk and semi-sweet varieties. I also think that using white chocolate in your recipes is the most versatile. Because it tends to be sweeter, I can often cut down additional sugar when its used in a recipe. My taste buds just prefer it.

Over a baking pan with foil or wax paper; set aside. Place popcorn, cranberries and almonds in a large bowl; set aside.

I think that this combination of popcorn with white chocolate and cranberries would be delicious. I might add some pecans as well as the almonds.
What a nice treat! I normally am not a chocolate lover but would make an exception. This would make for a nice little gift too.
I love doing this. I have so many food allergies that this is my go to treat of the day without the almonds. Thank you for reminding me to make some for tonight.
I have never had this recipe before and now I sure would love to try it. I would love to make this for a friend’s upcoming birthday thank you for sharing it.
Almonds, cranberries and white chocolate would be a great combination with popcorn. This sounds delicious.
I love popcorn and white chocolate too! The cranberries and almonds make it not only delicious but healthy too. Gotta try this recipe.
