You can use a fork, or put it in a zip-lock bag with the corner cut off. I really like dark chocolate to counter-balance the sweetness of the almond bark, but I know there’s a lot of dark haters, so do what you want! Drizzle the melted chocolate over the popcorn.
#Peppermint hot chocolate popcorn how to
Popcorn – Before I show you how to make this, I’m going to tell you about one of my best kept secrets! You know how when you buy a gourmet popcorn mix the popcorn itself is huge and puffy and doesn’t look anything like the regular popcorn you use? It’s called mushroom popcorn! It has nothing to do with mushrooms other than the shape.Peppermint Flavoring – You will need a little bit of either peppermint extract or peppermint flavoring oil.If you aren’t making this around the holidays, starlight mints from the candy aisle will also work. They are sold in packs of 12 or individually in the buckets by the register at grocery stores.

While any candy canes will work, I prefer the nicer brands, like Bob’s. Candy Canes – I’m a bit of a candy cane snob.Almond Bark – Also called vanilla candy coating, this smooth melting coating is similar to white chocolate but much easier to work with.Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, goes crazy for this stuff.It packs well, so you can put it in bags or cups or a big bowl or any cute container for sharing.It lasts for several days, so you can make it early and not be rushed to pass it out if you need some time.It’s super quick and easy to make and also inexpensive and requires minimal ingredients.I hate slaving over beautiful cookies and only having enough for a couple plates. You can make one huge batch and have TONS to share and pack up.Why you should make this peppermint bark popcorn
