Chocolate covered popcorn is a quick, easy, salty sweet snack made with made using freshly popped popcorn topped with rich, melted milk, dark or white chocolate drizzles.
In a large pot or large, deep pan, heat up 2 tablespoons (30 ml) oil over medium - medium high heat. Add 1 few kernels to the pot, cover with a lid. Once the “test kernels” have popped, the oil has heated enough to pop the remaining popcorn kernels.
Pour the dark, milk or white chocolate and coconut oil (if using) into a large microwave safe bowl. Heat in 20 second increments in the microwave until the chocolate is fully melted. Stir the chocolate in between each increment.
Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle the chocolate on top of the prepared popcorn. If you want to add some toppings such as mini candies or nuts, top with your preferred toppings while the chocolate is still wet. As a final touch, sprinkle some flaky salt on top.
