Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Popcorn kernels
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (or coconut oil)
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add a few popcorn kernels to test the temperature.

Step 2

Once the test kernels pop, add the rest of the popcorn kernels and immediately cover the pot with the lid.

Step 3

Shake the pot gently back and forth over the heat to prevent burning, and allow the popcorn to pop fully. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Once the popping subsides, remove the pot from heat.

Step 4

Transfer the popped popcorn to a large mixing bowl, making sure to discard any unpopped kernels.

Step 5

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Step 6

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the popcorn while gently tossing to ensure even coating. Use a rubber spatula to help mix everything without crushing the popcorn.

Step 7

Sprinkle with salt and toss again to distribute evenly.

Step 8

Let the chocolate-coated popcorn cool slightly to allow the chocolate to set. For faster setting, spread the popcorn on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Optional: Once cooled, lightly dust the popcorn with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

Step 10

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
