Melt butter in small non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add corn syrup and salt; stir to combine. Completely stir in Peppermint Sugar and bring mixture to a low boil for 30 seconds making sure sugar is completely melted; pour over popcorn and stir quickly so that all popcorn is coated evenly. Quickly add milk candy cane chips and chocolate chips; stir to combine so that all chips are evenly distributed.
Pour mixture out onto parchment lined baking pan. Lightly spray hands with non-stick cooking spay. Cool slightly and form into balls**. Let popcorn balls firm up, then store in air-tight plastic containers or plastic bags.
