2. In a microwave, melt your white chocolate chips, stirring it every 30 seconds until it���s totally smooth.
3. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the popcorn and sprinkle the crushed candy canes. Using a spatula, mix everything together until the popcorn is coated evenly.
4. Let it cool and harden before you serve it. Then sit back and prepare for the rave reviews!
