Cookies and Cream Popcorn
January 19 is National Popcorn Day, so what better time to share with you this delicious Oreo popcorn recipe for Cookies and Cream Popcorn.
This sweet and salty mixture will make you want to hoard all the popcorn! It’s so delicious, you will eat it all if you don’t have some help devouring it!
With this easy cookies and cream popcorn recipe I show you how simple it is to make at home. So don’t worry if it disappears very quickly, and everyone wants another batch, it can be made in minutes.
Oreo cookies and cream popcorn make a great games night snack. Or take some along to parties, potlucks or other family gatherings as it stores well, and can be easily doubled up if you are feeding a crowd.
Another great flavored popcorn is coconut nutella popcorn. Nutella, coconut, and coconut oil combined with popcorn makes for a perfect sweet that you can customize with health foods like granola, shredded nuts, and savory foods.
How to make cookies and cream popcorn:
- To begin, pop 10 cups of your favorite popcorn.
- You can choose your favorite microwave popcorn, use a Hot Air Popper, or make it the old fashioned way using a stove-top popper.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread popped popcorn over it.
- Chop almond bark into smaller pieces and place in a microwave safe bowl with the coconut oil.
- Heat mixture in 15 second intervals until softened.
- Drizzle the softened bark over the popcorn with a teaspoon.
- Immediately sprinkle the crushed cookies over the popcorn.
- Allow to set for 5 minutes and enjoy.
Cookies and Cream Popcorn ingredients:
- POPCORN: You will need 10 cups of popped corn for this recipe. Choose your favorite microwave popcorn, use a Hot Air Popper, or make it the old fashioned way using a stove-top popper.
- ALMOND BARK: I flavor the corn with white almond bark.
- OIL: I use coconut oil as I find it has the best flavor for popcorn.
- COOKIES: You will need crushed black and white cookies. I use Oreo’s, but any other brand will work as well.
Flavor variations & substitutions:
- If you can find white almond bark, a good substitution would be white chocolate, or white chocolate chips. You may just need to add a little extra coconut oil.
- Swap the coconut oil for almond oil, avocado oil and another light flavored oil.
- I’ve used black and white Oreo Cookies to make my cookies and cream popcorn, but feel free to use any variety of cookie. If you prefer a chocolate chip or peanut cookie, those would work great too.
Recipe hints & tips:
- The easiest way to crush the Oreo cookies is to place them into a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper, this will stop the ingredients from stick to the tray.
- Double or treble the recipe if you are feeding a crowd.
- Store leftover Cookies and Cream Popcorn in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Oh my! I am going to make this for our Christmas movie night! I like the use of coconut oil and of course the Oreos and almond bark. This will be a big hit!
I have made cookies and cream popcorn before and it was a huge hit. Highly recommend!
I used to love the three separated flavor popcorn that came in a tin around Christmas. I would love to try all these. The tin can ones are prob so gross after eating some of these.
Cooking air popped popcorn is super fun! This recipe reminds me of the original “Beverly Hills 90210” when Donna dipped popcorn into the ice cream. Cookies & cream is one of my top flavors. You could have a fun contrast if you chill the cookies before crushing!
I have never thought of this awesome combination! This looks so yummy!
Popcorn is my favorite snack. I’d love to try this flavor.
this looks like a perfect movie time treat
This looks amazing! I LOVE POPCORN!!!!
This really looks very delicious. I will have to try it when week when we are watching our movie!!
Oh my heavens! This sounds and looks delicious. I love popcorn and popcorn with cookies sounds even better.
I love Cookies & Cream ANYTHING! Had to Pin this one!! Yummy!
What a tasty and fun snack! And I love how easy it is. A good one to keep the kids close by to watch a good movie together!
Popcorn is my all time favorite snack, and I love sweet foods, so this would be a snack I would enjoy! Thanks for sharing.
This certainly puts a twist on the buttered popcorn. I normally like to separate my salty versus my sweet but this looks worth a try!
This looks like a nice twist on plain old popcorn. It is also easy to make. It would be a nice addition for family movie night.
OH!! yummy!! this looks amazing! I will have to try this next time I make popcorn with the grandchildren, Loving how easy this is.

I think this one might just be a bit too sweet for me but I’m thinking I could lessen the amount of bark and cookies to adjust it pretty easily.
This looks so good. Thanks for the recipe!

Oh my gosh. I have got to give this a try. Looks so yummy!

That looks tasty. Though very messy!
I like seasonings on popcorn, but I want them salty, not sweet.
