10 cups lightly salted popcorn, popped (125g pre-popped bag) choose light butter or no butter
200 g white chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil, optional
10 candy canes, crushed

If your popcorn is not pre-popped, pop it and let it cool. Spread the popcorn across 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Crush the candy canes in a food processor until they are small chunks.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate and coconut oil together in 30 second intervals. Drizzle over all the popcorn. Sprinkle with the crushed candy canes.
Use your hands or tongs to mix the popcorn and evenly coat in the toppings. Let it set for 15 minutes.
Break the popcorn into chunks and store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Enjoy!

I used a 125g bag of Skinny Pop—it is a pre-popped lightly salted non-buttery popcorn.
White chocolate chips or bars will work.
You can buy pre-crushed candy canes at bulk stores.
Popcorn is best enjoyed soon after making so it does not go stale.
