Materials
½ cupPopcorn Kernels
3Tbsp.Canola Oil
111 oz. White Baking Chocolate
1bag 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.
