White Chocolate and Peppermint Popcorn

I went to my first family Christmas party tonight and decided to try this peppermint popcorn recipe and it turned out really good. I'm not sure the nutrition of this recipe but it's great for the holidays.

Ingredients:
                  16 oz White Chocolate( I used white chocolate chips and it worked great)
                   1 cup finely crushed peppermints(about 12 candy canes)
                   4 quarts popped popcorn(about 1/2 cup corn kernels)

I used an air popper so if you use unsalted popcorn throw in a pinch of salt when you sprinkle in the crushed peppermints.

Directions:

Slowly melt white chocolate in the microwave. Stir often to keep chocolate from burning. Stir in 1/2 cup crushed peppermints into the white chocolate. Place popped corn into a large bowl. Pour melted white chocolate and peppermint mixture over the popcorn. Gently stir to coat popcorn while sprinkling remaining crushed peppermints over the popcorn. Pour out onto parchment paper and allow coating to harden. You can even drizzle with more chocolate!

I also had to make this, it was actually really easy and so festive! You use 2 cans of refrigerated  crescent dinner rolls and a container of pineapple cream cheese spread and of course lots of colorful veggies. Here is a link to the recipe if you want to make it. http://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/ham-and-veggie-crescent-wreath/e2ef80b7-014c-4198-b15a-e577f63d4cc8/
