This White Chocolate Peppermint Popcorn is a sweet snack to munch on any time. A no-bake snack mix recipe is great for movie nights, game days, or just because you are craving candy and popcorn!
These past few weeks, we have been cleaning out our closets and rooms one by one. The amount of junk we have accumulated in just a few short years is amazing. I thought we had gotten rid of so much when we moved here four years ago.
Four years later, the junk is back. Obviously, getting rid of clothes is a big one. People grow, and styles change...or maybe it's just my style that changes.
Good thing I like to shop at Goodwill because it seems like every six months or so, I look at things I bought and wonder what the heck I was thinking! Three big bags and a tote later, and I still think there is plenty more that we could get rid of.
Our office is one room that I can't get myself to clean out. Oh, I don't mean the dusting and vacuuming part of cleaning up...although I do not dust that room nearly as much as the other rooms!
The office is where I do my blog work, so I have stacks of magazines, recipes, and posts all over my desk. Oh, and half the stack of Christmas cards that didn't get mailed.
I also have all my scrapbooks and card-making supplies in this room. Shelves and shelves of paper, stamps, die cuts, and punches. My husband tried to get me to donate that stuff when we were cleaning that room up.
Just because I haven't scrapbooked in over two years does not mean I am ready to part with my crafty side. I still say one day I will get back to it, so why get rid of all my supplies?
Every once in a while, I bring out my crafty side. I really should do this more often because it is so much fun to create paper fun!
Today, I made a few little popcorn boxes using a popcorn die cut that I have had forever. I forgot how much fun I always had when I got my paper and scissors out.
I used some Valentine's paper and washi tape that I have been hoarding for who knows how long to decorate the front of the boxes.
See, it comes in handy having it in my office. Now, if I could just convince my husband of that!
Now, fill the containers with delicious chocolate-covered popcorn.
Peppermint patties and Sixlet candies are such a fun way to add some pops of color against the white from the popcorn, chocolate, and marshmallows. A few heart sprinkles really add a fun and cute touch! The great thing about this popcorn is that you could totally change the colors of the Sixlets and the sprinkles for any party or theme year-round.
I just couldn't keep my hands out of this white chocolate-covered popcorn this week. I guess that means a slight setback in the eating department, but it was so worth it!

My husband is a big peppermint patty fan, so this would be a fun surprise treat for him. But he'll get it in a regular bowl instead of your cute paper box. I did not inherit a crafty gene. 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker
Haha, it still tastes just as amazing without the crafty box, I promise!! 😉
