We had a movie night yesterday. C, R, and I watched
Prep & Landing. It was funny, but only 22 minutes long!!! I know I could have discovered that by simply reading the running time on the case, but I didn't. When you plan for a movie night, 22 minutes just doesn't cut it. Oh well.
To go along with the movie, I made
candy cane popcorn. C and R loved crushing the candy canes.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unpopped popcorn
- 4 ounces vanilla-flavored confectioners' coating, or Candiquick
- 6 peppermint candy canes, crushed
Directions
- Pop the popcorn and place into a large bowl. Melt the confectioners' coating according to the package directions.
- Pour the melted coating over the popcorn, and sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the mixture. Using your hands, work the candy coating and crushed candy canes all through the popcorn.
I thought it was delicious, but C and R didn't like it; I ended up making them a batch of regular popcorn. Luckily, T thought the candy cane popcorn was good - otherwise, I would have eaten the whole bowl myself!

After you mentioned this in your comment last night, I googled around for a recipe, when I didn't see it here, and found one similar, but with melted white chocolate chips instead of Candiquick - it looked pretty good, too :)
That looks yummy!! Sammy isn't a fan of candy canes either! I would have sat next to you and ate some. while putting in a 2nd movie ;-)
I have not heard of this before...sounds delicious! I love when we make good treats that no one likes but me! :)
I love candied popcorn, but I'm the only one in my house who likes it, such a shame.
This sounds yummy! Wonder if my kids would like it?
Glad you and T had fun with it! I'd wanted to make this before Christmas and never got around to it. Maybe I'll do it one night this week before the holidays are officially over.
