Valentine’s Day Popcorn Recipe – Cupid’s Crunch

This Cupid’s Crunch is a super easy and yummy Valentine’s Day popcorn recipe. It is a great treat for pretty much any Valentine’s Day party – with friends, family, school, work, or church. Or make it with your family as simply a fun treat, no party needed. It’s easy, quick, and everyone loves it!

This valentine popcorn recipe is easily adaptable to almost any holiday and a variety of flavors! Just change up the candy and the sprinkles to fit whatever theme you’re going for – holiday colors, school colors, sports team colors, leftover Christmas candy, etc.

Reese’s pieces would be a yummy candy to try mixed in with the popcorn and pretzels! Oreo cookies are another delicious add-in option. I already know it would probably be a good combo because this Oreo popcorn recipe is one of my favorites! If you like this Cupid Crunch recipe, you’ll definitely want to check out the Oreo popcorn recipe!

I love using popcorn that is lightly salted and the pretzels in this cupid crunch recipe because you get the sweet and salty combo going on. Love that! Of course, it doesn’t have to be bags of microwave popcorn. You can make your own popcorn with some kernels and an air popper, stove top popper, or even your own DIY microwave popcorn.

This is a fun Valentine’s Day treat to enjoy with family and friends! Give it a try or save this recipe for later!
