Popcorn
White chocolate morsels or vanilla bar
Candy canes or peppermints
Big bowl or Tupperware
I start off with 2 bags of popcorn, 1 bag of white chocolate and 1 candy candy or 4-5 peppermints. You can do without the mints if you prefer just simply the white chocolate. Next, I pre-chopped up the mints. There is no easy or best way to do this. I simply used a wooden meat pounder to crush the candy. Its best if you have a clean cloth to put the candy wrapped in. Ive tried using paper towel, plastic bags and pounding in a bowl. they all get ruined quickly and candy goes flying everywhere. Moving on, now pop all your popcorn. Separate all the kernels from the bag as much as you can. It takes time but you will be glad you did it later.
Melt a handful of white chocolate at a time under 25-30 seconds. You will have to microwave the chocolate in 3-4 separate times. Do not attempt to melt the whole bag of chocolate at once. *There's also the option of melting the whole bag in a double boiler. Anyhow, check on chocolate every 15 seconds and stir in microwave. Leave the chocolate back in if not complete melted. Set for another 15-20 seconds. You can also til when the chocolate chips are shiny, they are melting. Stir with spoon quickly.
*Always watch your chocolate, they burn really fast.
Once you are able to smash all the morsels together into a pasty melt, throw in the crushed mints in. As much or little as you want. And quickly mix it in. Then pour over popcorn and mix well completely. Do this for a good 20 minutes until you evenly get most popcorn covered with chocolate. The chocolate hardens pretty quick. Just keep mixing. I like to do this in a big tupperware so I can cover it with a lid and shake it around. Once they become loosely, let it sit for 30 minutes to dry off to get best testing. These popcorn are amazingly addicting and just melts in your mouth!
Peace, love & eats!
