Peppermint Popcorn Recipes

This Power Snack is Brain-Boosting and Filling At the Same Time

— September 30, 2015 — Lifestyle
If you are the kind of person who likes seasoning on your popcorn, this peppermint popcorn recipe is a power snack you will absolutely adore. Created by the blog Cooking Classy, the Peppermint Bark Popcorn will boost your brain and enhance your memory. This makes it a great (and easy) study snack for students who might have mid-term exams coming up.

To make your own batch of peppermint popcorn at home, you will need unpopped popcorn kernels, vanilla candy melts (vanilla almond bark will also do), crushed up peppermint candy canes, sprinkles, chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet or bittersweet depending on your preference) and peppermint extract. It's the peppermint that boosts your mind-power while the popcorn adds that non-stop snacking factor.
