Ingredients

- ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon coconut oil

- Pour the popcorn mixture onto a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper.
- Spread it out and sprinkle crushed candy cane on top of the popcorn mixture.
- Chill in the fridge or freezer for 10-15 minutes for the white chocolate to set.
- Remove from freezer and use a fork to gently break and separate the kernels into bite-sized pieces.
