All Things Sweet Christmas Recipe Seasonal, Holidays & Special Occasions

Peppermint Popcorn with White Chocolate Drizzle

Christmas popcorn made with white chocolate and crushed candy canes

Last year about this time we discovered peppermint popcorn drizzled in white chocolate.  I can’t quite remember the company who made it and we haven’t seen around this year.  So we decided to make our own.

Ever since I gifted Tim a Whirley Pop popcorn maker last Christmas it has been put to good use.  For this recipe we simply popped a batch of popcorn and dumped it into a really large mixing bowl.

We then sprayed the popcorn with Pam non-stick spray, stirred it up a bit, and sprayed a bit more.  We sprinkled with crushed candy cane, turned it over a bit in the bowl, and sprinkled some more!

Festive Peppermint Popcorn

Next we spread the peppermint popcorn out evenly between two parchment lined baking sheets.  Sprinkled just a bit more candy cane.  (Did you guess we really like the peppermint!).  After melting some Belgian white chocolate chips over a double boiler, we drizzled the melted chocolate all over the popcorn and put each sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set the chocolate.

It is now ready to enjoy a bowl full or bag it up for gift giving.  So easy and so delicious!

Until next time….
