Quick and easy, Peppermint Popcorn makes a festive gift for the holidays. Also a perfect snack for a holiday party or game night.
1. Pop 1/2 cup popcorn. I use an air popper. Yield is about 16 cups popped.
2. Finely crush peppermint sticks (I place them in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin).
3. Melt white chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. If melting in the microwave, stir every 30 seconds. (It takes about 1 1/2 minutes to melt.)
4. Place popcorn in an extra large bowl by handfuls to remove the unpopped kernels.
5. Working quickly before the chocolate sets, drizzle white chocolate over the popcorn, sprinkle the peppermint candy and a dash of salt.
6. Stir vigorously to coat the popcorn.
7. Spread the popcorn in a thin layer onto waxed paper.
8. When popcorn is cool and dry, break into small pieces and serve.

Hands-down, this is simply THE greatest Christmas candy treat I’ve ever made! I’m a huge peppermint fan… if I could buy candy canes year round, I would! This is fabulous, and I can’t wait to give out tins of it to my employees this week! Thanks for sharing!
