Ingredients

  • 3 C popped popcorn
  • ½ C (85g) white chocolate melted
  • teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon coconut oil
  • 2-3 large peppermint candy canes crushed

Instructions

  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, add in the white chocolate and heat in 20 second intervals in the microwave until melted. (Alternatively, you can use a double boiler and melt it that way too).
  • Once the white chocolate is melted, stir in sea salt and ½ teaspoon of coconut oil.
  • While white chocolate is warm, add 3 cups of popped popcorn and coat evenly, using a spatula to mix.
  • 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.
