(check there for photos, etc.)
2 bags microwave popcorn
1 lb Almond Bark (or white chocolate chips)
1 6oz box candy canes, crushed. (About 1-1 1/2 C)
2 tea. peppermint extract, or a few drops of peppermint oil
3/4 C semi-sweet chocolate chips
Place popcorn in a very large mixing bowl.
Crush the candy canes (easiest, although very noisy, if done in a food processor or blender).
Pour the popcorn out onto a piece of waxed paper, parchment, or foil. Spread it out into an even layer and let it "dry".
Crush the candy canes (easiest, although very noisy, if done in a food processor or blender).
Melt the almond bark, (or white chocolate) in your microwave. (cook on 1 min intervals, and stir in between until smooth.)
When your almond bark is melted, add the peppermint extract. It will seize a little bit (get kind of lumpy) but it's totally fine. If you use a peppermint oil it shouldn't seize at all, just make sure to only use a few drops as oil is stronger than extract. Pour over popcorn, add crushed candycanes and stir to combine.Pour the popcorn out onto a piece of waxed paper, parchment, or foil. Spread it out into an even layer and let it "dry".
While the popcorn is setting, place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals until melted and smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the popcorn.
