Ingredients

6 cups popcorn (popped)
50 g dark chocolate

Instructions

Prepare your popcorn in a microwave, popcorn machine or using the stove top method. Spread the popped popcorn out on a baking tray or baking sheet.
Roughly chop dark chocolate, or break it into squares. Add the chocolate to a bowl, and place it in a microwave for 30 seconds to melt it. Use a spoon to stir the chocolate. Repeat the process 1-2 times until the chocolate has melted completely.
Use a spoon or spatula to drizzle the chocolate over the popcorn. Drizzle it to cover evenly.
You can serve the chocolate covered popcorn immediately, or if you prefer, you can leave it to sit for an hour to allow the chocolate to firm up. If you leave the chocolate to cool down, you’ll be able to eat the popcorn without getting sticky fingers!

Notes

What can I add to popcorn for flavor?

Melted chocolate, peanut butter, honey and cinnamon, dried herbs, black pepper and sriracha, cinnamon and sugar, and caramel sauce are all great on top of popcorn.

Is popcorn a vegetable?

No. Although popcorn is made by corn, which is a vegetable, the kernels are considered grains. Popcorn should therefore not be considered as part of your daily vegetable intake. It is however a great whole grain food source and an excellent source of fiber.

Leftovers

Leftover chocolate covered popcorn can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Popcorn is best stored at room temperature.
