Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups popped popcorn
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed candy canes
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Place the popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl and set aside. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted. Stir in the vegetable oil or coconut oil to thin the chocolate for easier drizzling.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the popcorn and toss to distribute evenly.
Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the popcorn. Use a spatula or your hands to gently toss the popcorn until it is evenly coated with the chocolate.
Add the crushed candy canes to the popcorn mixture and gently toss again to incorporate the pieces throughout.
Spread the coated popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Allow it to cool at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes or until the white chocolate hardens.
Break the popcorn crunch into clusters and transfer to a serving bowl, or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
