Everything in our home takes on a holiday twist when it’s the Christmas season – even our snacks! There’s nothing wrong with making most the season. One of my favorite Christmas snack recipes is this White Chocolate Peppermint Popcorn. It takes minutes to make and you only need 3 ingredients to make it. We make a batch to snack on while we decorate the tree or when we’re watching Christmas movies.

You’ve got to be a fan of peppermint to enjoy this one. However, you can make it more or less pepperminty if you’d like to adjust it. We go all out and add in all the peppermint we can get. I make a batch and keep it in a gallon freezer bag, in our pantry, to enjoy throughout the season. It’s also a great homemade holiday gift from the kitchen too.

Looking for more Christmas snack recipes? I’ve got you covered! Simple Reindeer Graham Cracker Snacks are something the kids can make themselves. Peppermint Fluff Dip is another great minty snack for the season. If you like more spice, Gingerbread Cheesecake Dip is a must-try.

How To Make White Chocolate Peppermint Popcorn

Only three ingredients are required to make your popcorn, but there’s an optional addition if you’d like more crunch and peppermint flavor. It tastes like a frosted creamy popcorn and it’s so addictive. I also love the pink color that it ends up being – so much fun.

What You’ll Need From The Grocery Store:

• Microwave Popcorn (lightly salted)
• Candy Cane Hershey Kisses
• Butter
• Optional: Candy Canes (crushed for garnish)

Step-By-Step Directions To Make White Chocolate Peppermint Popcorn

To start, pop your popcorn according to package instructions. While it’s cooking, unwrap the entire bag of Candy Cane Hershey Kisses. If you’d like less peppermint flavor, only unwrap 3/4 of the bag. Melt the candy and butter in the microwave, for 2 minutes, stirring once at the 1 minute mark.

Stir the melted candy butter mixture into the popcorn until well coated.  Spread the coated popcorn onto a baking sheet and let it harden for 15-20 minutes before enjoying. I used wax paper underneath my popcorn for easier clean up.

If you’d like to add crunch to your popcorn, add crushed candy canes on top for garnish. Serve and enjoy!
