Peppermint Popcorn

I love popcorn! It's a snack that I make often and as soon as I saw this great Peppermint Popcorn I had to try it. Now some may say this recipe takes a healthy snack and turns it into candy...

But Earl says it's Christmas time-have some fun and enjoy!

Let's just try to not make a... well... Earl of ourselves:@)

The best tools for this job are a big bowl and clean hands, so get the kids involved!
After you pour the candy on the popcorn wait a couple seconds 
and test it to make sure it's not too hot for them to touch.

Peppermint Popcorn-from Taste of Home 
I made 1/3 batch and I'll add my measurements in italics.
1lb white candy melts-chopped - 5.3oz candy melts, 55 pieces
24 C popped popcorn - 8 C popcorn, 1/3 C unpopped using hot air popper
1/2 to 3/4 C finely crushed candy canes-approx 4-6 - I used 2 candy canes

1. Melt candy melts in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth.
2. Pour candy melts over popcorn and sprinkle with crushed candy canes in large bowl, mix well and pour onto a wax paper lined cookie sheet.
3. Once set break apart and store in an airtight container.

I highly recommend trying this folks, the only problem... It's very addicting!
Have a happy day:@)
