Do you have lots of candy canes leftover from the holidays?  They are usually swimming around at our house mostly because they are the last candy eaten---and I usually end up throwing them away after a month or so.  But not this year!  I decided to turn those leftover treats into a candy cane popcorn recipe that was perfect for family movie night which is a Friday night tradition at our house.
