Peppermint Bark Popcorn Recipe

I enjoy coming up with new snack ideas for parties. I decided to modify my Peppermint Bark Chex Party Mix to make a Peppermint Bark Popcorn. I changed the quantities, but used a similar method. I also decided to use white chocolate on half of the popcorn and dark chocolate on the rest. This allows people to pick their favorite chocolate or combine them for a party in their mouth.

Peppermint Bark Popcorn

I used red and green striped peppermint candy canes to add a little more color to the Peppermint bark. Don't let the number of steps mislead you. This is easy to make and comes together quickly.

We use an air popper to make our popcorn. If you use another method, use as little oil as you can get away with and do not add salt.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
