Peppermint Bark Popcorn

A festive holiday treat that makes for a delicious homemade gift! Made with dark chocolate, cacao butter, peppermint extract, and peppermint candies. It tastes like peppermint bark – yum!
Prep Time 20 minutes
Course Dessert
Servings 10 cups

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Popcorn Kernels
  • ½ cup Dark Chocolate Chips
  • ½ cup Peppermint Candies or Candy Canes crushed
  • 1 tbs Cacao Butter
  • ¼ tsp Peppermint Extract
  • ¼ tsp Salt

Instructions
 

  • Pop kernels using your preferred method. I personally love making it on the stove using a large metal pot.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spread out popcorn evenly.
  • Melt the cacao butter and chocolate chips in a small pot over the stove. Add peppermint extract, then turn the heat off.
  • Drizzle the chocolate over popcorn and quickly sprinkle with crushed peppermint candy pieces before the chocolate sets.
  • Allow chocolate to set at room temperature, then break the popcorn into pieces. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

Store in an airtight container. The popcorn is best served on the day it’s made, but should keep for a couple of days.
