Christmas White Chocolate-Peppermint Popcorn

Christmas White Chocolate-Peppermint Popcorn Finely crushed candy canes, chocolate candies, and white chocolate coating turn popcorn into a deliciously festive Christmas treat.

I've been a bit obsessed with peppermint over the past couple of weeks. I'm really not sure why, but I've been drawn to recipes with peppermint this Christmas season.

So imagine my disappointment when today I tried out four new recipes with peppermint ... four ... and wasn't happy with a single one of them. Not a one.

Finely crushed candy canes, chocolate candies, and white chocolate coating turn popcorn into a deliciously festive Christmas treat.

Major bummer-in-the-kitchen day.

But I sure do like this Christmas White Chocolate-Peppermint Popcorn!

And the funny thing is, I didn't even mean to make it.

Nope. This peppermint-laced popcorn wasn't in my peppermint-obsession line-up.

I was actually whipping up a batch of White Chocolate Popcorn for a bake sale when I thought to myself ... hmmmm .... I wonder what this would taste like with candy canes in it?

See, I told you I've been obsessed with peppermint.

So I went to my pantry, grabbed a candy cane, broke off a tiny piece, and popped it in my mouth with a small handful of the white chocolate popcorn I was making.

I was actually whipping up a batch of White Chocolate Popcorn for a bake sale when I thought to myself ... hmmmm .... I wonder what this would taste like with candy canes in it?

And it was good. Like really good.

I must admit, I was surprised. I didn't actually expect the white chocolate popcorn and candy cane combination to be good. But oh, it is.

And that little hmmmmmm moment is how this Christmas White Chocolate-Peppermint Popcorn came to be.

The teeny tiny flecks of crushed candy cane give a refreshing pepperminty-ness to the popcorn. It's got just a hint of peppermint ... and then a hint of milk chocolate from holiday M&Ms ... which both combine fabulously with the saltiness of the popcorn.

It's total yum.

I'm so glad this creation-of-my-random-thoughts concoction worked. Because out of my peppermint obsession trials, none of the others have!

Sometimes it pays off to be random.

Thank you for stopping by . We'd love to have you back soon!
