Yield: 10 servings
Calories: 71cal
Author: Melissa

Materials

  • ½ cup Popcorn Kernels
  • 3 Tbsp. Canola Oil
  • 1 11 oz. White Baking Chocolate
  • 1 bag Soft Peppermint Sticks
  • 1 11 oz. Red Chocolate Melts

Instructions

  • 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.
