RECIPE: Chocolate-Covered Popcorn

Chocolate Covered Popcorn

Chocolate Covered Popcorn.  Chocolate & popcorn.  Hmmm. I have to admit when I first considered this combination for today’s Chocolate Covered Monday, I was a little skeptical.

Curiosity got the better of me though and I decided to try it.  Besides, I love Harry & David’s Moose Munch!

Here’s how to make your own Chocolate Covered Popcorn.

Chocolate Covered Popcorn ingredients

What you’ll need:  Plate covered in wax paper, popcorn (w/o butter or salt), Chocolate (any type is fine – I prefer Dark Chocolate)

Melt Chocolate in the microwave

Melt Chocolate in a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds.  Stir.  Nuke again until melted.  Be careful to not overheat or the Chocolate will burn and crystalize very quickly.

Melted Chocolate

It should look like this!

Dip popcorn in melted Chocolate

Place on piece of popcorn in the Chocolate.

Shake off excess Chocolate

Cover completely using a spoon and lift out with a fork so the excess Chocolate can drain from the popcorn.

Place Chocolate Covered Popcorn on wax paper

Place on wax paper.

Place Chocolate Covered popcorn in the freezer

Freeze for 10 minutes or until the Chocolate is set.

Chocolate Covered Popcorn

Voila!  Done! You’re very own Chocolate Covered Popcorn in a matter of minutes.

While it’s not as good as Harry & David’s Moose Munch, it’s still pretty tasty in my opinion.  Besides, it’s pretty healthy for you since it’s unbuttered and salted popcorn covered in Dark Chocolate.

Yum!

Give it a try!  It’s fun! :)
