Level: Easy
Total: 30 min
Active: 15 min
Yield: 10 cups

Ingredients

  1. 30 peppermint candies
  2. 1 pound white chocolate chips
  3. 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  4. 10 cups store-bought popped kettle corn
  5. 1/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
  6. 2 tablespoons red sprinkles
  7. 2 tablespoons green sprinkles
  8. 2 tablespoons red sanding sugar
  9. 2 tablespoons green sanding sugar

Instructions

  1. Line 2 baking sheets with waxed paper.
  2. Place the peppermint candies in a large resealable plastic bag. Crush with a rolling pin until you have a mix of smaller chunks and crumbs. Set aside.
  3. Place the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in increments of 15 to 30 seconds (this will depend on your microwave), stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth.
  4. Place the kettle corn in a large bowl. Pour the white chocolate mixture over the popcorn and fold with a spatula until evenly coated. Transfer the popcorn to the lined baking sheets in a single layer. Working quickly, sprinkle the popcorn with the crushed peppermint candies, mini chocolate chips, red and green sprinkles and red and green sanding sugar. You can you use more or less of each topping based on what you like.
  5. Allow the popcorn to dry to the touch, about 15 minutes, before packing in bags as gifts or storing in an airtight container.

This is so awesome love it

This is excellent!! I used the crushed candy cane that you can get in the baking aisle but skipped the sprinkles and the mini chocolate chips. The kettle corn is a must because it adds the slightest amount of saltiness. So good!

Made this popcorn last year for Valentine’s Day with Valentine sprinkles. Everyone loved it! This year we are doing it for a Halloween Party with Halloween sprinkles, candy corn, pretzels and Halloween M&Ms. can’t wait to see how it turns out! So fun to make and delicious!

I made this for Christmas goodie bags this year.  So easy and really good!  I am not normally a fan of white chocolate but made for a great popcorn treat.  Great for Christmas treat bags.  Very addictive.

The only thing to say is YUM! I used peppermint OIL instead of extract and a buttered popcorn which helped cut the sweet to just right. RAVE reviews from everyone!
