This recipe is quick enough to make on a whim for any old movie night yet fancy enough to gift your loved ones over the holidays.<\/p>\n<p>For ultra customization, you can swap in different toppings for the peppermint throughout the year or skip the topping altogether for purely white chocolate popcorn. Our variations section below will get you started.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for White Chocolate Popcorn<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>White candy coating:<\/strong> White candy coating is a common substitute for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/dark-secret-white-chocolate-isnt-telling\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/dark-secret-white-chocolate-isnt-telling\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">white chocolate<\/a> in many sweet recipes, especially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-candy\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-candy\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">candy<\/a>. Unlike white chocolate (made from cocoa butter), candy coating doesn&#8217;t need to be tempered, so it&#8217;s easy to use and sets up firmly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Popped popcorn:<\/strong> For this popcorn with peppermint and white chocolate, you&#8217;ll need about 3\/4 cup unpopped kernels for 24 cups popped popcorn. If you have an air popper, we recommend using it so your popped popcorn is unadorned and ready for the candy coating.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Peppermint candy:<\/strong> For the topping, you&#8217;ll need four to six traditional candy canes or enough peppermint hard\u00a0candy to make about 1\/2 to 3\/4 cups once crushed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Red nonpareils (optional):<\/strong> These tiny round candy sprinkles add a pop of bright color and crunch. It&#8217;s totally up to you whether to add them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Microwave the candy coating<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2084871\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/White-Chocolate-Popcorn_TOHcom24_14804_DR_11_20_01b.jpg\" alt=\"overhead shot of melted candy coating; stir until smooth in a glass bowl placed over pink background, a kitchen towel is placed on the right side of the bowl;\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Dan Roberts for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Microwave the candy coating in a microwaveable bowl until melted.

You may want to melt a little extra candy coating if you need the extra binding to keep the balls together.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a different chocolate:<\/strong> Swap in chocolate-flavored coating for the white candy coating. Chocolate + peppermint = YES.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it a party mix:<\/strong> Go wild and take inspiration from our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-white-chocolate-party-mix\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-white-chocolate-party-mix\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">easy white chocolate party mix<\/a>. Top your popcorn with pretzel sticks, cereal, M&#038;M&#8217;s, nuts and toffee bits. Now that&#8217;s a popcorn party.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tailor the toppings: <\/strong>Instead of the nonpareils, try different toppings that fit the occasion. Your birthday party popcorn could have blue, pink and gold sprinkles. Or, try green, yellow and orange sprinkles with tiny googly eyes for a Halloween party. Add pastel candies or marshmallow-y cereal like Lucky Charms for spring and Easter parties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store White Chocolate Popcorn<\/h2>\n<p>Heat, light and moisture are the enemies of this popcorn with peppermint and white chocolate, so keep your treat tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does white chocolate popcorn last?<\/h3>\n<p>Once your white chocolate popcorn has cooled and set, store it in a tightly sealed container at room temperature.
