- Popcorn Kernels
- Canola Oil
- White Baking Chocolate Chips
- Soft Peppermint Candy
- Red Chocolate Melts
Here’s how you make Peppermint Bark Popcorn
- Pour enough oil into to cover the bottom of a large pan – about 1/4 inch high
- Pour the kernels in
- Pop over med/high heat – covering the pan, but leaving the lid slightly ajar – when the popping slows, remove the popcorn from heat
- Once your popcorn is popped, salt it to your liking – no butter
- Crush the peppermint sticks – leaving it course with some large pieces
- *My old fashioned way of doing this is to put the peppermint sticks or soft peppermint candies in 2 zip tight bags, and zip them tight then use a rolling pin to crush the candy
- Pour the crushed peppermint over the salted popcorn
- Put the white chocolate chips into a glass bowl, and microwave it for about one minute. Everyone’s microwave is different, so check on the chocolate’s consistency by stirring. If it’s nice, and smooth, then it’s ready
- Pour the melted chocolate over the popcorn, and candy cane mixture
- Use a large spoon to mix everything together
- Spread out some wax paper on the counter or onto a baking sheet
- Spread the popcorn onto the wax paper
- Melt the red chocolate melts, and drizzle it over the popcorn mixture
- Let that chocolate set up at room temperature and harden
- You’re done
- Break up the pieces of popcorn and transfer the mixture into a serving bowl, or store it in an air tight container
