Equipment

Ingredients

1/2 cup popcorn kernels
1 1/2 cups white chocolate wafers
1/3 cup candy canes crushed (will need about 4 regular sized candy canes)

Instructions

Pop the popcorn kernels with an air popper.
Place several candy canes in a food processor or blender, blend until finely crushed.
Melt the dipping wafers according to package directions. (I place in a microwave safe bowl and heat at half power in 30 second intervals, stirring well after each interval. Continue doing this until fully melted).
Pour the white chocolate over the popped popcorn, stir to coat. Add the crushed candy canes and gently mix.
Let popcorn sit for 1 hour or so to let the white chocolate set. Store in an airtight container for up 5-7 days.

Notes

You can use white chocolate chips, but they aren't as white as the wafers.
