So your tree is down, and your Christmas decorations are packed away until later this year … and you have a few candy canes with no idea of what to do with them! I have the perfect way to use up those last few candy canes laying around your house – White Chocolate Peppermint Popcorn!
If you’re anything like me, you buy too many boxes of candy canes (every.single.year!!) My kiddos like all the fun flavored ones …. like raspberry, blueberry, cherry, War Heads (super sour ones) , chocolate mint … and you can easily use those flavors instead of the peppermint flavored ones, if you prefer.
White Chocolate Peppermint Popcorn
Printable recipe
Yield: 10-12 servings
10-12 cups air-popped popcorn
10-12 oz. White Chocolate candy melts
2 (or more) candy canes, crushed
Spread enough waxed paper out onto counter to hold all of the popcorn.
Place the popcorn in a bowl large enough to stir the popcorn. Set aside.
Melt candy disks according to package directions. Drizzle over the popcorn and stir to coat. Sprinkle with half of the crushed candy canes; stir.
Spread the mixture out onto the waxed paper and sprinkle with remaining candy cane pieces. Allow to cool completely. The chocolate will re-harden.
Store in an airtight container.
