Preparation
Step 1
Place popcorn in very large mixing bowl.
Melt almond bark according to package instructions. When completely melted, add extract or peppermint oil. If using extract, it's normal for the almond bark to seize (get lumpy). Stir very quickly, the longer you wait, the lumpier it gets.
Pour melted almond bark mixture over popcorn and pour crushed candy canes on top. Stir to evenly coat. Pour popocorn onto waxed paper, parchment, or foil and spread out.
Place chocolate chips in microwave safe bowl and heat at 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Drizzle over popcorn mixture. Let mixture dry until chocolate and almond bark are hardened.
When chocolate is hardened, use your hands to break up popcorn in to chunks. Toss in a bowl, a jar, a cute package, or mouth :)Places
