Peppermint popcorn; an easy holiday snacking or gifting idea. I love popcorn, and who does not like making a sweet treat out of it?  This is super easy and was one of the gifts I gave my neighbors.  Put it in a nice bag with a cute little ornament.

Use any kind of candy canes you can get your hands on I used 2 box of Hershey chocolate peppermint

You will need 1 teaspoon peppermint extract

2 3.5oz bags of microwave kettle corn

1 bag of melting white chocolate

Optional (red food coloring) a few drops.

Pop the pop corn

Melt the chocolate and add the peppermint extract and food coloring,

Using a food processor or ninja, crush the peppermint sticks

pour the crushed candy cane onto the popcorn,

Mix the chocolate and popcorn together, lay it out on a wax paper and allow cooling and hardening. Break apart and put into festive little bags as give aways or in a bowl for the family to share.

I hope you enjoyed the post/recipe.  If you would like to reach me you can do so at LauralovingLife@hotmail.com
