March 6 is National Oreo Day; you've got to try this Oreo Cookies and Cream Popcorn

With March 6 being National Oreo Cookie Day we thought we’d share this amazing recipe from Becky Hardin, the Cookie Rookie.

“It’s perfect for a night in while binge-watching my favorite series on Netflix,” says Becky Hardin. “I also love this sweet and salty popcorn recipe for tailgating, parties, or a simple dessert I can munch on at home.”

Cardinals fans can make it and snack on it while watching Cardinals games or even put a little in a plastic bag to bring to the game and munch on.

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! — Becky Hardin
