Chocolate Drizzle Popcorn

April 22, 2015 By Betsy Cohen

A sprinkle of sea salt with the melted chocolate and you, too, will be able to enjoy a big bowl of Desserts Required's Chocolate Drizzle Popcorn.

I love when a great idea pops into my head; especially when it involves popcorn, chocolate, sea salt and, of course, Samuel!

Samuel is a popcorn addict. He loves going to our friends’ Ellen and Marc’s house because he knows that he pretty much has carte blanche to do what he wants. I think it has something to do with his ‘deliciousness factor’.

Samuel’s go-to choice is popcorn with a canister of grated cheese poured over the top. Mixing in is not even required.

I on the other hand, am a much bigger fan of chocolate and simply had to try a batch. Well, one batch turned into another, which turned into another.

Initially, I wasn’t sure how to prevent the popcorn from getting soggy once the chocolate was drizzled and stirred. Shannon at Searching for Dessert solved this mystery for me. Besides a delicious Caramel and Chocolate Popcorn recipe of her own, Shannon had, already, realized that refrigerating the popcorn prevents it from getting soggy. It works!

Recipe Type: snack
Author: Betsy Cohen
Prep time: 8 mins
Cook time: 5 mins
Total time: 13 mins
Serves: 6-8
The amount of chocolate used is based on personal preference. Samuel loves his Chocolate Drizzle Popcorn with just a bit of chocolate while I love mine loaded with chocolate.
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup popping corn
  • ½ - 1 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips, melted
  • sea salt to taste
Instructions
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Double bag 2 paper lunch bags. Pour the popping corn into the bag and double fold the top down to close the bag. It will not be a tight seal but will keep the popcorn inside the bag.
  3. Microwave the popcorn on high for 2-5 minutes. There is a wide range because microwaves vary greatly. Once you can count 5 seconds in between pops, it is done.
  4. Remove from the microwave and carefully open the bag. Pour the popcorn onto the parchment paper. It is easy to pick out any unpopped kernels.
  5. Drizzle the chocolate over the popcorn and stir until you have the chocolate coverage you want. Sprinkle with sea salt and give the popcorn another quick stir.
  6. Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes.
  7. Transfer to a plastic storage bag.

About Betsy

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over.
