Peppermint Bark Popcorn! Like me, do you wait until the last minute to make a holiday treat for your friends or neighbors?
If you answered yes, then this recipe has definitely got you covered. It’s nothing like those 4 hour long recipes that seem as though they take all day to prepare, then 4 hours more to rest in the fridge.
This recipe takes about 10 – 15 minutes to make and it is completely addictive! Not to mention it’s got holiday festiveness written all over it, especially once you add the Christmas sprinkles.
If you like salty and sweet you could even add in 1 1/4 cups of broken pretzel pieces along with the popcorn.
This recipe definitely deserves to make it to this years treat list. Trust me, you’ll be so glad it did! Happy Holidays and enjoy!
