Tips:

  • Prepare your popcorn in advance. This will save you time and allow the popcorn to cool completely before adding the white chocolate mixture.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate. This will ensure that your popcorn has a rich and creamy flavor. If you're using white chocolate chips, be sure to melt them slowly and carefully to avoid scorching.
  • Add the peppermint extract gradually. Start with a small amount and taste the popcorn as you go. You can always add more peppermint extract, but it's difficult to remove it.
  • If you're using crushed candy canes, be sure to chop them finely. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the popcorn.
  • Store the popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the popcorn for up to 2 months.

White chocolate peppermint popcorn is a delicious and festive treat that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and salty snack that everyone will love.
