Peppermint Popcorn Delishousness

Yes, delishousness is a word, thank you very much. This is an awesome recipe. It has become one of my favorites. And it is so simple. 


Here's what you need:
Baker's Premium White Chocolate (9 squares = 1 1/2 boxes)
4-6 candy canes, crushed
Ande's Peppermint Crunch baking chips (optional)
2 bags of natural popcorn (meaning non-salted and non-buttered)
A microwave safe bowl
A large bowl (to mix everything in)


First, pop the 2 bags of popcorn and pour them into the large bowl. Set aside.

Next, unwrap the candy canes and put them in a couple of baggies. Crush them with something heavy. I use my ice cream scoop (it has a metal head). 

Once crushed, set them aside.

Unwrap the white chocolate squares and put them into the microwavable bowl. 

Microwave chocolate for 1 1/2 minutes, then stir. Microwave again for another 1 1/2 minutes. Stir chocolate thoroughly until creamy smooth.

Pour crushed candy canes into chocolate.

Also, if you want to, pour in some of the Andes peppermint chips. 

Mix together decently well.

Pour peppermint chocolate mixture onto popcorn. It'll look like it's not quite enough, but it spreads pretty far. 

Mix together. Be patient with this part. It does take a while to get the peppermint chocolate to fully cover the popcorn. Plus it makes a messy bowl. 

Then all you have to do is let it sit for about an hour or so for it to harden (or you don't have to if you don't want to. It still tastes good when it's liquidy). And voila! Peppermint Popcorn. Sweet and Easy :-) And a great last-minute treat. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Eve!
