Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 24
• 24 cups popped popcorn
• 3 cups chocolate wafers, melted
• 2/3 cup finely crushed candy cane

Recipe

• 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).
