6. Continue shaking for 2–3 minutes, until the popping slows significantly.

Melt the Chocolate:
1. Fill a pot with a few inches of water and bring to a simmer.
2. Place white chocolate in a heat-safe bowl over the pot (make sure water does not touch the bowl).
3.Stir gently until smooth and melted.
4. Add cake batter flavoring oil and stir to combine.
5. Transfer melted chocolate to a piping bag or spoon for drizzling.

Assemble:
1. Line a tray with parchment paper.
2. Spread popcorn in a single layer.
3. Drizzle with white chocolate.
4. Immediately sprinkle with colorful sprinkles.
5. Let set until chocolate hardens.
