White Chocolate Peppermint Popcorn

One of my family’s favorite traditions is making popcorn and having a movie night. We LOVE any kind of popcorn and end up doing this at least twice a month. There are many fun variations you can make, like my favorite microwave caramel corncake batter popcorn and cookies and cream popcorn.

Today’s chocolate peppermint bark popcorn is a new favorite holiday treat. I absolutely love peppermint bark, so this recipe marries two of my favorites together into one amazing combination.

And let me tell you…it is delicious! The salty white chocolate popcorn paired with the layers of sweet dark chocolate and crushed peppermint is just magical. What flavor dreams are made of!

This treat also makes a great gift and is so cute all packaged up. This stuff is seriously addicting, so I had to get it out of my house quick before I ate the whole batch. It is THAT good!

Only 5 Ingredients!

  1. Popped popcorn: Pre popped, microwave or stovetop popcorn

How to Make Peppermint Bark Popcorn

  • Melt the white chocolate. Add candiquik (or white chocolate) to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on medium for 1 minute. Stir and then heat in 30 second increments until completely melted.
  • Mix white chocolate and popcorn. Place popcorn into a large bowl, then add in melted white chocolate and crushed peppermint. Make sure everything is completely coated, then pour onto wax paper in an even layer.
  • Melt and drizzle milk chocolate. Melt the milk chocolate using the same method as the white chocolate. Once completely melted and smooth, drizzle the milk chocolate over the popcorn. Then immediately sprinkle crushed candy canes on top.
  • Let cool and break into pieces. Allow to cool completely, until the chocolate has hardened. Then break into pieces before enjoying.
