Tips:

  • Use high-quality white chocolate. This will ensure that your popcorn is rich and creamy.
  • Don't overheat the white chocolate. If you do, it will seize and become lumpy.
  • Be careful when melting the white chocolate. It is easy to burn, so melt it slowly and stir it constantly.
  • Add the popcorn to the white chocolate mixture as soon as it is melted. This will help to prevent the chocolate from hardening.
  • Use crushed peppermint candies for a festive touch. You can also use peppermint extract or oil if you prefer.
