ingredients
- 24 cups popped popcorn
- 3 cups white chocolate wafers, melted
- 2⁄3 cup finely crushed candy cane
directions
- Pop popcorn.
- 1/2 cup of unpopped popcorn yields approximately 10 cups of popped popcorn.
- Make 24 cups of popcorn.
- This is approximate-- not to worry if you have 22 cups or 28 cups-- it is a forgiving recipe.
- Put candy canes into a food processor.
- Finely crush.
- Melt dipping wafers following the package instructions.
- I used the microwave instructions-- very simple& easy.
- Put popcorn into a large bowl-- you need a really big bowl-- I actually used 2 bowls.
- Add melted dipping wafers to popcorn and stir to coat.
- A gentle hand is a good idea-- Add crushed candy canes and gently mix.
- Spread popcorn mixture onto paper lined cookie sheets.
- I used non stick aluminum foil-- it worked well-- I used 2 cookie sheets.
- Place cookie sheets in frig for approximately 30 minutes or until coating hardens-- I had 2 cookie sheets and not enough frig space so I put 1 cookie sheet in the frig and the other cookie sheet in the freezer (for 15 minutes only) to harden the coating-- Remove from frig/freezer-- break into pieces.
- Store in airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 weeks (I have not tried storing in the freezer yet).

This was delicious! A big hit at the party I took it to. I halved the recipe as I didn't have many candy canes. I used white chocolate chips in place of the wafers, and I crushed up my candy canes by putting them in a zip lock bag and beating them on a cutting board using a rolling pin. Kind of theraputic. Also, I used microwave Kettle Korn. So yummy! People couldn't stop eating it!

I have made this for several Christmas parties and have always been asked for the receipe. I have used red and green chocolate wafers, separated the popcorn and candy canes, coated popcorn with the different colored chocolate wafers, when the chocolate is dry I mix them together, this makes a pretty presentation.
