Now that Christmas season is here, I start to think about all the great Christmas treats I can make. There is a surplus of Christmas recipes out there, but the challenge is to find dorm friendly recipes. I came across this Christmas cookies & cream peppermint popcorn recipe and thought it would be perfect for a dorm friendly treat – because all you need to make it is a microwave!
I made this recipe for my friends and family over Thanksgiving break and everyone loved it. This popcorn would make a great Christmas gift for your college friends if you package it in fun Christmas bags.
All you need is:
-2 bags microwave popcorn, popped
-1 6oz box candy canes
– 1 pack Oreos
– 1 ½ packs Almond Bark
– 1 ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
1) Place popcorn in a large bowl. Crush candy canes and Oreos and pour over popcorn. I crushed my candy canes and Oreos by putting them in a Ziploc bag and hitting them with a hammer instead of using a food processor.
2) Melt almond bark in a microwaveable bowl. Add in peppermint extract and pour over popcorn mixture. Mix.
3) Melt the rest of the almond bark and pour over popcorn.
4) Enjoy!
