  • Sprinkle half of the crushed peppermint over the popcorn.
  • Repeat steps 2-4 with the white chocolate chips and the other half of the peppermint.

Notes

  • Melting the chocolates separately gives optimum drizzling consistency. So melt just before using it. If it sits for too long it will be gloppy.
  • Adjust the amount of crushed peppermint to your taste.
  • It's important to add the crushed peppermint right after the chocolate, this makes it stick.
  • If you're adding any other variations (ideas in the post) add those before the chocolate hardens as well.
  • The recipe doubles and triples easily. You'll just need more baking sheets so the popcorn is evenly spread out.
