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
- Melt candy melts in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth.
- 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.
- 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:@)

It's hard to beat a big bowl of popcorn! Think I'll make some tonite and watch a movie!
ReplyDeleteGosh does that look good! I'd love to make an EARL of myself on that yummy snack!
ReplyDeleteYumm! I can just imagine those crunchy bits of peppermint! Plus a great way to use up candy canes!
ReplyDeleteI always make white chocolate popcorn for Christmas. Love buying pretty plastic bags and tying it up with cute ribbons. Earl looks very happy being in middle of a big bowl of popcorn. xo
ReplyDeleteOk Earl... it is on!!! Tomorrow ~ peppermint popcorn is on the agenda! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds SO GOOD! I have never even THOUGHT OF the combo. But it sounds great! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful fun weekend,
Hugs,Donna
I agree with Earl. :) That looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteHi Earl,
ReplyDeletecute idea to make peppermint pop corn. The candy sticks pieces add a yummy color to the pop corn and probably a wonderful flavour. Thanks for sharing this great idea.
Stay warm, Johanna
Lynn~ I like Earl's attitude and I'm a big fan of sweet & salty together!
ReplyDeletePopcorn here I come! I have the candy canes too! YeeHaw!
ReplyDeleteI can understand why Earl is in the middle of that. YUM!
ReplyDeleteI woke up thinking about this today and you were right.... it is very addicting!!!! Yummo.
ReplyDeleteI could make a pig out of myself! Sounds yummy! BTW, I made your peanut butter spritz and they are wonderful. I'll blog about them soon and give your blog credit.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good light holiday snack. The girls would love the chopping up the candy canes part. Something about smashing things with a hammer...
ReplyDeletePeppermint popcorn - sounds good and I love pink. sandie
ReplyDeleteOh....I do love changing up my popcorn flavors! I just found an amazing caramel corn recipe for the microwave at http://aspicyperspective.com/2012/11/caramel-corn-recipe.html
ReplyDeleteI'm so going to try it!
I love popcorn, almost any popcorn, so I'll give this a try. It looks yummy.

It sounds delightful, Lynn! I love peppermint and I love popcorn--never tried them togehter but I will now! ;)
ReplyDeleteI must confess, Lynn, that I've stayed away from your blog for a bit because you make the most mouth-watering goodies, and I'm on a very "goodie restrictive" diet right now. Sigh! But, I am getting better about being able to look, appreciate, and not touch those things I'm not supposed to have which means I will be able to start browsing, commenting and enjoying your lovely blog!
ReplyDeleteThis popcorn looks like something my "Grands" would totally relish at our Christmas Eve family party, so the recipe is definitely going on the meal plan for then. Thanks so much for sharing!
