Chocolate covered peppermint patties popcorn.
You may have noticed that we love chocolate covered popcorn around here. We combine chocolate covered popcorn with every candy imaginable during our Friday movie nights. Last week Jay requested peppermint popcorn, which is always our go-to choice during the holidays. It was a little unexpected but I couldn’t deny the boy his love for peppermint. The popcorn we made for the movie night is covered in chocolate that has been infused with peppermint extract. In addition to the peppermint extract I tossed in chopped up YORK MINIS peppermint patties. Mmmm…I love York peppermint patties! They’re the perfect combo with the popcorn.
Chocolate Covered Popcorn
This recipe, along with all of our other chocolate covered popcorn recipes, is easy to make with only a few ingredients needed. It’s simply dark or semi-sweet chocolate that has been melted over a double boiler. I then add peppermint extract into the chocolate to increase the peppermint flavor in every bite. To top it off I toss in chopped peppermint patties on the chocolate covered popcorn then let the chocolate set before eating. It can get messy if it’s warm, but the messy fingers are so worth it!

We are loving all the new minis candy bags. They’re great for tossing into popcorn, cookies or brownies. I can’t wait to mix these York Minis into brownies. They’re definitely going on my homemade gift list this year for Christmas.
Thanks for stopping by!
I love this idea!! Thanks!
It’s such a shame my hubby only likes his popcorn with butter and salt.
I may have to make a batch of this just for me! Then I’ll make his Plain Jane for him. Lol
I love chocolate…it’s required to maintain a balanced diet :) Love this recipe with the York Peppermint patties. Yummy!
