Ingredients

• *12 cups popped popcorn
• *12 ounces white chocolate candy bark or melts
• *12 peppermint candy canes, crushed
• *optional ½ cup red candy melts for drizzle

Directions

• Step 1 : Unwrap and crush candy canes. You can use a food processor or blender. If you dont have those, place the candy canes in a plastic freezer bag, seal, and hit them with a wooden spoon. My kids love to do this and refuse to use the food processor.
• Step 2: Place popped popcorn in a large bowl.
• Step 3: Melt white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl for 45 seconds to 1 minute in microwave. Stir. If chocolate is not melted, return to microwave and melt for another 45 seconds to 1 minute.
• Step 4: Pour melted white chocolate over popcorn.
• Step 5: Add crushed peppermint and stir until well mixed.
• Step 6: Spread the popcorn mixture evenly across a piece of waxed paper.
• Step 7: Place the popcorn mixture in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes until chocolate is hardened. Remove from freezer.
• Step 8: If desired, melt red candy melts (as directed above) and drizzle over popcorn mixture. Return to freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to allow drizzle to harden.
