Ingredients
  

  • 12 c Popped kettle corn
  • 2 Tbsp Red sanding sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Green sanding sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Christmas colored sprinkles red, white, green
  • ½ c Milk chocolate melting wafers
  • ½ c White chocolate melting wafers
  • 10 Peppermint candies

Instructions
 

  • Place peppermint candies in a plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to smash candies into tiny pieces.
  • Place popcorn on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Place milk chocolate wafers into a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds. Remove from heat, stir, and heat again in 15-second increments until chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Repeat step 3 to melt white chocolate wafers.
  • Generously drizzle milk and white chocolate over popcorn.
  • Quickly add red and green sanding sugar, sprinkles and peppermint pieces on top. More is better because not all sprinkles will stick to chocolate.
  • Allow chocolate to cool and set for approximately 10 minutes.
  • Once set, break apart the popcorn and flip it over. Repeat steps 5 - 7 to coat the second side and cool.
  • Once the popcorn mixture is set, place 2 cups into each treat bag and tie it with a Christmas ribbon.

Notes

  • Use 6 5.5in x 8.5in clear treat bags and tie closed with Christmas themed ribbon.
  • If popping kettle corn yourself from a bag, 1 bag unpopped popcorn = 6 cups popped kettle corn.
  • If white chocolate appears too thick after melting, you can add 1 tsp of vegetable oil to thin out.
  • To expedite the cooling process, you can put the baking sheet in the refrigerator.
