Okay…so I apologize to those of you who have made New Year’s Resolutions to eat healthier! I just can’t help myself! I saw this recipe from Our Best Bites that I just had to try. Have I mentioned how much I love Chocolate and Peppermint together? This popcorn was SO good. Luckily I gave most of it away to a few ladies in my neighborhood, so I didn’t eat the whole batch myself :)!
Simply pop 10-12 cups of popcorn and sprinkle with a little salt. Crush candy canes very finely until you have enough for 1.5 cups and set aside. Melt 8 ounces of white chocolate chips or Almond Bark. After it is melted stir into the chocolate 1 to 1.5 tsp of Peppermint Extract. The chocolate may get a little lumpy. No worries. Pour chocolate over the popcorn and stir until it is evenly distributed. Sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the popcorn and stir until it is all mixed again. Pour the popcorn out onto a layer of wax paper. While it is drying, melt some regular chocolate chips and drizzle over the popcorn. Let harden before serving.
I plan on making another batch of this to give out to some friends and the grandparents for Valentine’s Day.

this looks decidedly very dangerous, off to try it out! Thanks…
this looks amazing. i have such a weak spot for white chocolate.
Oh man, does that look and sound soo tasty. I now have a sweet tooth before breakfast…yikes.
I'm forever making different kinds of popcorn and I am loving this one. Thanks for sharing!!!!
Can't wait to try it! A yummy after school treat maybe??? Or a special treat for my little one for being so good at the dentist today? Shhh! Don't tell him, we'll brush extra good! And Amy, you would LOVE my chocolate peppermint soap! What a SWEET combination!
Oh how heavenly! I can smell it now! I even have the stuff to make it! Guess I know what I'm making this weekend!
Yummy! I'm going to surprise all the girls at bookclub with this tomorrow. Thank you!!
I knew I should have bought those marked down candy canes. These look great!
Do you know of a place I can find candy canes this time of year?
I made this a few weeks ago and it was a HUGE hit with my family! My grandpa even scolded me for not saving him some! LOL Since you've got me craving it now I'll have to go whip up another batch! :) Thanks a lot! LOL
Also, to the anon poster above, I actually saw some in our local JoAnn's store with their valentines day candies!
Couldn't you just use crushed hard peppermints? They are found in the candy aisle year round.
Yum! I have a similar recipe for cinammon popcorn that is yummy too!
MMMMmmmmmmmmmm, so glad I bought those marked down candy canes last week!
I made something very similar (without the candy canes)…I'll be posting mine in the next few days! – SO YUMMY!! love the candy cane idea!
I have just found your blog and love it. Thanks for so many new ideas that I hope to live to 100 to try them all out.
Oh yum! That sounds heavenly!
my goal for 2010–to be more creative–or just copy you…gave this out mixed with cinnamon bears for VT treat…
