Ingredients

  • 1 cup Popcorn unpopped, makes about 16-18 cups of popped popcorn
  • 12 oz almond bark save 2 oz to mix in chocolate drizzle
  • 5 peppermint candy canes crush until it's half powder half tiny pieces. Scant 1/2 cup
  • optional sprinkles
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips may need as much as a 1/3 cup. Choose a good quality chocolate. The better chocolate will give you more flavor.
  • 1/4 tsp peppermint extract

Instructions

  • Pop kernels in a popcorn popper according to manufacturers directions, into a very large bowl (if you don’t have a popcorn popper, you can also do it in a brown paper bag in the microwave – see instructions here. Removed un-popped kernals). Melt 10 oz almond bark according to directions listed on package. Pour melted almond bark over popcorn and toss to evenly coat.
  • Reserve 1 tablespoon of crushed canes. Then immediately, before coating hardens, add remaining crushed candy canes to popcorn and toss to evenly coat.
  • Sprinkle with Christmas or red sprinkles if desired. Spread onto a large piece of parchment or wax paper into a single layer (add more sprinkles if desired).
  • In a microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and remaining 2 oz of almond bark on 50% power in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until melted and smooth. Stir peppermint extract into melted chocolate. Transfer to a piping bag (cut tip from corner) and drizzle evenly over popcorn. Sprinkle remaining 1 Tbsp candy canes over chocolate and allow chocolate to set at room temperature, then break popcorn into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
