Ingredients

  • 20 cups popped popcorn
  • 1 12 ounce package white candy coating, white chocolate chips or white chocolate bar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening
  • ½ cup Crushed peppermint candies
  • red sanding sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare popcorn if making fresh and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or waxed paper. Set aside.
  3. In a small microwaveable mixing bowl add the white chocolate or candy melts with the coconut oil or vegetable shortening. Microwave on high for 30 seconds and stir vigorously. If needed, heat again in 15-second increments until completely melted, stirring well between each cycle.
  4. In batches, pour the melted chocolate over the prepared popcorn and toss the popcorn until coated.
  5. Place the chocolate covered popcorn on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the popcorn with the prepared crushed peppermint candy. Toss the popcorn and add additional peppermint candy if desired. Sprinkle with the sanding sugar.

Notes

  • You will need to make the popcorn in batches. 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels will bake about 8 cups of popcorn.
  • In a small mixing bowl add 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels.
  • Add 3 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the kernels and stir to coat each kernel.
  • Place coated popcorn in a single layer in a large heavy pot.
  • Place on the stovetop and turn heat to medium with the lid on the pot, slightly ajar.
  • Shake the pot when the popcorn begins to pop. Once popcorn stops popping remove from heat.
