How to Make Candy Cane Popcorn Crunch

  1. Pop 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels, yielding approximately 10 cups of popped popcorn. You'll need about 24 cups total (adjust kernels accordingly). Don't worry about being exact; this recipe is forgiving!
  2. Place 12 ounces of candy canes in a food processor and finely crush.
  3. Melt 12 ounces of white chocolate wafers according to package instructions (microwave is easiest!).
  4. In a large bowl (or two!), combine the popped popcorn and melted white chocolate. Stir gently to coat evenly.
  5. Gently fold in the crushed candy canes.
  6. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or non-stick aluminum foil. Spread the popcorn mixture evenly onto the prepared sheets.
  7. Refrigerate one sheet and freeze the other for approximately 30 minutes, or until the coating is completely hardened.
  8. Once hardened, break the popcorn crunch into pieces.
  9. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 weeks.
