Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup popcorn kernels
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a large pot (with a lid) on medium heat, melt the cooking oil. Put a single kernel in the pot, place the lid on and wait for it to pop. Once this happens, add the remaining kernels.
  • Swirl the pot to coat all of the kernels in the oil and watch closely while stirring occasionally to make sure they don't burn.
  • Once the popping of the kernels has stopped, turn off the burner and let them cool.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the kernels on it.
  • In a small bowl, add the chocolate chips and the coconut oil and microwave for 20 seconds. Stir, and continue to microwave for 10 second intervals, stirring in between, until it is completely melted.
  • Drizzle the chocolate over the popcorn and season with salt.
  • Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate has hardened. The chocolate will make multiple popcorn kernels stick together forming a cluster. You can keep it as is or break them up to get individual pieces. Enjoy!
