White Chocolate Peppermint Popcorn
From Make It Do.- Ingredients:
- 1/2 c. unpopped popcorn (approx. 16 c. popped)
- 2 c. white chocolate chips
- 1/2 c. crushed peppermint candy canes
- A dash of salt
Start by popping 1/2 cup of popcorn. This makes approximately 16 cups of plain popped popcorn.
Place peppermint candy canes in a ziplock bag and finely crush using a rolling pin.
In a heat proof bowl, carefully melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds to prevent scorching. It took 1 1/2 minutes in my microwave. (You can also do this in a double boiler.)
In a very large bowl, start drizzling the white chocolate evenly over the popcorn, then quickly sprinkle the crushed candy, and a dash of salt over the popcorn and stir vigorously to evenly coat all the popcorn before the chocolate starts to set up.
Once it is evenly coated, turn the popcorn out onto waxed paper in a thin layer and allow to cool.
When the popcorn is completely cool and dry, break up into small pieces.
