White Chocolate Peppermint Popcorn with a Dark Chocolate Drizzle

The book club I belong to had their Christmas social after Christmas so I tried a couple new recipes with my leftover Christmas ingredients.  This was particularly tasty, I thought.

Ingredients:

2 c white chocolate
1 c crushed candy canes (about 12 candy canes)
20 c popped popcorn (about 1/2 c popcorn kernels -add a touch of salt after popped if air popping)
3/4 c semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Directions:

Pop your popcorn and add a touch of salt after popped (if it's not already salted).

Crush your candy canes (food processor, mallet, whatever).

Melt your white chocolate then mix with 1/2 of the crushed candy canes.  Toss with popcorn and lay out the popcorn flat on parchment paper.  Sprinkle rest of candy canes over top. 

Allow coating to harden then drizzle the popcorn with the melted dark chocolate.  Let that harden.  Then break up, put in a bowl and enjoy!
