Candy Cane Popcorn Crunch

Candy Cane Popcorn Crunch


1. Pop popcorn.

2. 1/2 cup of unpopped popcorn yields approximately 10 cups of popped popcorn.

3. Make 24 cups of popcorn.

4. This is approximate-- not to worry if you have 22 cups or 28 cups-- it is a forgiving recipe.

5. Put candy canes into a food processor.

6. Finely crush.

7. Melt dipping wafers following the package instructions.

8. I used the microwave instructions-- very simple& easy.

9. Put popcorn into a large bowl-- you need a really big bowl-- I actually used 2 bowls.

10. Add melted dipping wafers to popcorn and stir to coat.

11. A gentle hand is a good idea-- Add crushed candy canes and gently mix.

12. Spread popcorn mixture onto paper lined cookie sheets.

13. I used non stick aluminum foil-- it worked well-- I used 2 cookie sheets.

14. Place cookie sheets in frig for approximately 30 minutes or until coating hardens-- I had 2 cookie sheets and not enough frig space so I put 1 cookie sheet in the frig and the other cookie sheet in the freezer (for 15 minutes only) to harden the coating-- Remove from frig/freezer-- break into pieces.

15. Store in airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 weeks (I have not tried storing in the freezer yet).
