It’s no secret- I love chocolate and peppermint, and when they are added to popcorn it is scrumptious! Each piece of popcorn gets coated with white chocolate mixed with crushed candy canes, drizzled with milk chocolate, and sprinkled with even more peppermint pieces. Absolutely addicting! This makes the perfect snack for munching on while watching a Christmas movie or driving around to see that lights. It comes together really quickly too so it’s perfect for those busy days when you don’t have time to make cookies but still want a yummy treat.
Peppermint Bark Popcorn
8 cups plain or lightly salted popcorn
6 oz Ghirardelli white melting chocolate
1/2 box (about 1/2 cup) crushed candy canes
1/3 cup milk chocolate chips
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, foil, or a silicone mat. Measure our popcorn and dump into a large bowl. Melt white chocolate in microwave then stir in crushed candy canes. If desired, set aside a few TBSP to sprinkle over popcorn at the end. Pour over popcorn and stir gently to coat. Scoop popcorn out onto sheet pan and spread into a somewhat even layer.
In a ziplock bag, melt the chocolate chips for 1 minute in the microwave. Massage chocolate through the bag until no lumps remain. Cut a small corner off the bag and drizzle the chocolate over the popcorn.
Let popcorn sit until chocolate is hardened. If you’re in a rush try popping it in the fridge or freezer.
Enjoy!
