Ingredients
  

  • Popcorn kernels or plain popcorn – The base of the recipe.
  • White chocolate chips or baking bars – For that creamy sweet coating.
  • Candy canes or peppermint candies – Crushed into small pieces.
  • Coconut oil or butter optional – Helps thin the chocolate for drizzling.
  • Salt optional – A pinch enhances the flavor balance.

Method
 

Step 1: Get the popcorn ready
  1. You may pop plain popcorn in the microwave, on the stove, or in an air popper. You can obtain 10 to 12 glasses of it.
  2. Put the popcorn in a huge basin to mix or on a baking sheet coated with parchment paper.
  3. Take out any kernels that haven't popped yet so you don't get any unwanted surprises while you eat.
Step 2: Warm up the white chocolate
  1. Put 12 ounces of white chocolate chips or chopped white baking chocolate in a bowl that can go in the microwave.
  2. Put the mixture in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds at a time, stirring it each time, until it is smooth.
  3. If the chocolate is too thick, you can add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or butter to make it thinner.
Step 3: Add Peppermint and Assemble
  1. Put the melted chocolate on top of the popcorn.
  2. While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle 1/2 cup of broken candy canes on top.
  3. Gently toss the popcorn so that each piece receives a beautiful layer.
  4. Let it cool down and then break it up
Step 4: Cool and Break Apart
  1. Let the popcorn sit out at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the chocolate solidifies. Or you can refrigerate it for 15 minutes.
  2. To serve the clusters, put them in a bowl or container that keeps air out.
  3. That's all there is to it! You can make a Christmas treat in less than 30 minutes!
