Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or coconut oil
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup white chocolate chips
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups mini pretzels
- 1 cup peanuts
- 1 cup M&M's candies
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 cup of popcorn kernels.
Cover the pot with a lid and shake it occasionally to prevent sticking. Pop the kernels until the popping slows down, then remove from heat.
Spread the freshly popped popcorn on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let it cool slightly.
Melt the dark chocolate chips by microwaving them in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the popcorn, then repeat the process with the milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips, drizzling each type over the popcorn layer.
Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of salt evenly over the chocolate-coated popcorn for a sweet and salty balance.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle 2 cups of mini pretzels, 1 cup of peanuts, and 1 cup of M&M's candies over the popcorn mix.
Optional: Add 2 tablespoons of sprinkles for a colorful decoration.
Let the mixture rest until the chocolate hardens. You can speed up the process by placing the tray in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
Break apart the popcorn into bite-size clusters and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
