Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Milk chocolate chips
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Butter
Directions
Step 1
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil on medium heat and add the popcorn kernels. Cover the pot with a lid, leaving it slightly ajar to let steam escape.
Step 2
Shake the pot occasionally to ensure even popping. Once the popping slows down to 1-2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat.
Step 3
Transfer the popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl, discarding any unpopped kernels. Lightly sprinkle the salt over the popcorn and toss to combine.
Step 4
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Step 5
Drizzle the melted milk chocolate over the popcorn. Using a spatula or clean hands, gently toss the popcorn until it is evenly coated in the chocolate.
Step 6
Spread the chocolate-coated popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring it is evenly distributed and not clumped together.
Step 7
Let the popcorn sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate is set. For faster setting, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
Step 8
Once the chocolate has hardened, break the popcorn into clusters if necessary. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
