        • Pop 2 bags of popcorn and remove any unpopped kernels
        • Melt your white chocolate, red candy melts, and green candy melts all in their own microwave safe bowls
        • Mix the melted white chocolate into the popcorn, stirring to get all the popcorn coated
        • Place popcorn on a baking sheet then drizzle with red and green melted candy melts
        • Sprinkle with your favorite holiday candies and sprinkles
        • Allow the popcorn and melted chocolate to set up and then enjoy!

    This popcorn is really easy to make!

    How to remove kernels from popcorn?

    Place the popped corn on a cooling rack and let the kernels fall through. It's that easy!

    Getting rid of kernels is super easy and I highly recommend!

    How to get popcorn and chocolate to harden fast?

    Simply refrigerate the popcorn after you are done adding all the candy, sprinkles, and candy melt drizzle for 5-10 minutes.

    Where to get peppermint bark?

    Adding peppermint bark to this Christmas Popcorn is so delicious. When I’ve made a batch of my own, I will chop a bit of it and add it to the popcorn, other times I will just grab some already made from the holiday candy aisle at my local grocery store!

    In addition to being a delicious dessert, you can bag this popcorn up and give it away as an easy Christmas gift! 

    I have to say watching Christmas movies is definitely one of my favorite ways to get into the holiday spirit and relax.

    Add some of this Christmas Popcorn and a Hot Cocoa Bomb- and you have a wonderful cozy evening.

    Hot Cocoa and Christmas Popcorn is such a great combo!

    I’ve grown up watching White Christmas every year and my husband always watches It’s a Wonderful Life. What are your favorite holiday movies to watch?

      I have not previously posted this question. I want to make your buffalo popcorn . I looked at some of your other popcorn recipes but all are same. You say use 3 bags of popcorn but not which size??

        What a great question! I use the 2.75 oz bags- for me they are the standard popcorn size bag (not a mini or low cal serving bag) but I realize that might not be standard where you are. Thank you for asking!
