Red sanding sugar or sprinkles
1 cup mini pretzels: optional 
3/4 cup cashew pieces: optional

Directions

1. Line a baking sheet with wax paper. 
2. Place popcorn in a large bowl. If you are looking for more crunch with your mix you can add pretzels and cashews. 
3. Melt white candy wafers in microwave on 50% power in 30 second intervals, stirring after each. 
4. Add peppermint oil and stir to combine. More peppermint can be added if a stronger mint flavor is desired. 
5. Pour melted wafers over popcorn mix. With clean hands, mix together until the popcorn mixture is well coated. 
6. Sprinkle sanding sugar and mix again to incorporate. Pour mix onto lined baking sheet and allow candy to harden.
