Ingredients

  • 10 cups Popped Popcorn
  • 1 bag White Chocolate Chips 11.5 oz bag
  • 9 Peppermint Candy Canes (about 3/4 cup crushed)

Instructions

  • Pop approximately 10 cups of popcorn and place it on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.  You will likely need 2 baking sheets.
  • Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl.  Heat in 20 second intervals in the microwave, stirring after heat interval until melted and combined. Stir in approximately 1/2 of the crushed candy canes and save the rest for the top.
  • Pour the white chocolate mixture over the popcorn and gently toss with a spatula until the popcorn is evenly coated. Work quickly. The chocolate starts to set as it cools.
  • Sprinkle the remaining crushed candy canes on top of the popcorn.
  • Let the popcorn sit at room temperature until the white chocolate is firm and no longer shiny, 30 minutes (or 10–15 minutes in the fridge if you're in a hurry). Break it into pieces and serve.
