In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the popcorn kernels and cover the pot with a lid.
Shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning. Continue until the popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops.
Transfer the popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl and remove any unpopped kernels. Sprinkle with salt.
In a microwave-safe bowl, break the almond bark into smaller pieces and microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted almond bark over the popcorn and gently stir to coat evenly. Work quickly as the almond bark will begin to set.
Optional: Sprinkle colorful sprinkles over the coated popcorn for added flair.
Spread the popcorn onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper to let it cool and set completely (about 10-15 minutes).
Break the popcorn into clusters if needed and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
