This almond bark puffcorn is one of those treats I can’t stop snacking on once I start. I love how light and airy the puff corn is, paired with a sweet white coating that melts in my mouth. I usually make this when I need a fast dessert or snack that feels special without taking much time.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because it comes together incredibly fast and doesn’t require any baking. I only need a microwave, a bowl, and a few minutes of my time. I also like how versatile it is, since I can change the toppings or flavors to match any holiday or gathering. It’s always a crowd-pleaser, and I rarely have leftovers.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
7 ounces butter-flavored puff corn
16 ounces vanilla almond bark, broken into pieces
2 to 3 tablespoons sprinkles (optional)
Directions
I start by lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper and setting it aside. Then I add the almond bark pieces to a microwave-safe bowl. I microwave it in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each round, until the almond bark is completely melted and smooth.
Next, I gently add the puff corn to the melted almond bark. I carefully fold everything together until the puff corn is evenly coated without crushing it. Once coated, I spread the puff corn out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Before the coating hardens, I sprinkle the top with sprinkles. I let it sit for a few minutes until the coating is fully set.
Servings And Timing
This recipe makes about 6 to 8 servings, depending on portion size. I usually need about 10 minutes total from start to finish, including prep and setting time. There is no cooking or cooling wait beyond a few minutes for the coating to harden.
Variations
I like changing this recipe based on the occasion. Sometimes I use seasonal sprinkles or colored sugar. I also enjoy mixing in dried fruit or crushed candy canes for extra texture. For a flavor twist, I occasionally add a small drop of peppermint or orange extract to the melted almond bark. Milk chocolate coating can also be used for a different taste.
Storage/Reheating
I store this puffcorn in an airtight container at room temperature. It stays fresh and crunchy for up to one week. I don’t reheat it, since warming it can cause the coating to melt.
FAQs
Can I use white chocolate instead of almond bark?
I can substitute white chocolate, but I find almond bark melts more smoothly and coats the puff corn more evenly.
What type of puff corn works best?
I prefer butter-flavored puff corn because it adds more flavor, but plain puff corn works well too.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
I often make it one or two days in advance for parties, and it still tastes great when stored properly.
Does this need to be refrigerated?
I don’t refrigerate it. Room temperature storage keeps the texture best.
Can I add extra toppings?
I like adding sprinkles, crushed candies, or flavored extracts, as long as they’re added before the coating sets.

This almond bark puffcorn is one of my favorite no-bake recipes because it’s quick, easy, and always delicious. I love how simple the ingredients are and how fast it comes together. Whether I’m making it for a party or a casual snack, it never fails to disappear fast.
