You are going to love how easy this recipe is and it’s just perfect for kids! Last year I shared my Marshmallow Peppermint Crunch Popcorn Ball Pops with you and in the interest of saving characters, I opted for a much simpler Peppermint Crunch Popcorn this year 🙂

There isn’t any marshmallow in this recipe but it’s just as delicious and takes 15 minutes to pull together – INCLUDING popping the popcorn. I love how festive it is with the sprinkles. Of course, sprinkles make everything better.

I used Andes Peppermint Crunch chips for the peppermint flavor and a little bit of peppermint extract. The first go around without peppermint extract just wasn’t pepperminty enough 🙂  I like using the Andes Peppermint Crunch Chips because they add all that amazing flavor and I don’t have to worry about the sharp edges of crushed candy canes.

    How did you prevent the white chips from seizing up, when you added the extract??

      I didn’t have that problem at all Toni. I did use CandiQuik candy coating.

    If you’re using microwave popcorn, how much would you use?? I’m assuming the 3/4 cup is if you pop it yourself Thank you 🙂

      It would be between 12 and 14 cups popped – roughly 🙂 Start on the lower end and then add more if you need it! Have fun!

    Hi!
    I live in Australia and we don’t have any peppermint baking chips. Suggestions to replace it? Will smashed up candy cane work?

      They should be right next to the chocolate chips in the baking aisle at your grocery store – good luck!

    How many cups of popped popcorn do you use? I buy popcorn in bulk (already popped) for caramel corn and would love to try this, too! Thanks!

      Just a rough estimate here, but I’d think between 12-14 cups of popped popcorn. I would start on the low end making sure you’re getting good coverage and then you add in more if it looks like it needs it. Enjoy!

    Hi there,

    How long would you say this stays fresh for? I am thinking of shipping this. So there would be approx. 3 days before anyone could eat it…

    What do you think?
