Ingredients
Scale
- 10 cups air-popped popcorn (about ½ cup kernels)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or white candy melts
- ½ cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup crushed candy canes or peppermint candies
- Optional: 1 tbsp coconut oil
- Optional: pinch of salt
Instructions
- Pop Popcorn: Pop the kernels using an air popper or stovetop. Remove unpopped kernels and transfer popcorn to a large bowl.
- Crush Peppermint: Place candy canes in a zip-top bag and crush using a rolling pin or pulse in a food processor.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt white chocolate in 20-second microwave intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Coat Popcorn: Pour melted white chocolate over popcorn and stir gently to coat evenly.
- Spread Out: Spread coated popcorn on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Dark Chocolate Drizzle: Melt dark chocolate and drizzle over the popcorn.
- Add Peppermint: Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top while chocolate is still warm.
- Set: Let cool at room temperature or refrigerate 10 minutes until firm. Break into clusters and serve.
Notes
- Use air-popped popcorn for best chocolate adhesion.
- A tablespoon of coconut oil helps chocolate melt smoothly.
- Stir gently to avoid breaking the popcorn.
- Melt chocolate slowly in short intervals to prevent burning.
- Add holiday sprinkles or M&Ms for extra color.
