White chocolate popcorn drizzled with dark chocolate and sprinkled with candy cane pieces.
Layer a baking tray with parchment paper.
Pour the popped popcorn into an extra-large bowl, making sure to remove any un-popped popcorn kernels.
Pour the white candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl.
Heat on high power for 30-second bursts of high power, stirring after each, just until the chocolate melts.
You can also melt the candy melts on the stove. Fill a saucepan with 1 inch of water, set it over low heat, and set a snug-fitting bowl over top so it does not touch the water. Pour the candy melts into the bow and stir often until melted.
Pour the Dark Cocoa Candy Melts into a small microwave-safe bowl.
Heat for 15-second bursts of high power, stirring after each, until melted.
Pour the White Candy Melts over the popcorn and gently stir just until the white chocolate coats all the popcorn. Don't stir too much or the white chocolate will harden.
Spread into an even layer on the parchment paper-lined baking tray.
Immediately drizzle the Dark Cocoa Candy Melts over the popcorn and quickly sprinkle the Peppermint Crunch Sprinkles or candy cane pieces over the top of the popcorn.
Tap the pan on the counter a few times. This will ensure your candy cane pieces stick to the chocolate popcorn.
Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
Then, break up the peppermint popcorn into chunks. Don't try to break the popcorn into really small pieces or the popcorn will crumble and the candy cane pieces will fall off.
Serve and enjoy!
Store your peppermint popcorn in an airtight metal popcorn tin for up to 2 months, in an airtight plastic container for up to 2 weeks, or in a cellophane bag for about a week.
*You can use any white compound chocolate or white pure chocolate to make this gourmet popcorn.
