chocolate covered popcorn.

chocolate covered popcorn is one of my all-time favorite snacks. it combines sweet and salty in one without going overboard. growing up in jacksonville, there has to be one definitive moment where you encounter peterbrooke chocolatier. in all my years, i have never come across anything that comes near the famed chocolate covered popcorn. that is until now.

let me introduce to you my spin on chocolate covered popcorn.


ingredients:
1 bag of microwave popcorn. i use the orville redenbacher butter.
1 cup of nestle milk chocolate chip morsels


how to:
1. microwave bag popcorn.
2. on a cookie sheet, in a single layer, spread out cooked popcorn. i use wax paper on top of the cookie sheet for easy clean up.


3. in a microwave safe dish, use 1/2 to 1 cup of chocolate chip morsels. microwave on high for 1 minute.


4. stir morsels to break up shape.
5. using a spoon, drizzle melted chocolate over popcorn.*


6. let sit 8hours or until chococlate has hardened.


*depending on how much chocolate you desire, you can have thick clumps of chocolate or just a light drizzle.
