Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and 2-3 popcorn kernels to the pot. Cover with a lid and wait until the test kernels pop.
Remove the test kernels and add the remaining popcorn kernels to the pot in an even layer. Cover with the lid, leaving it slightly ajar to release steam, and shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning.
When the popping slows to about 2-3 seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat. Transfer the popcorn to a large mixing bowl, discarding any unpopped kernels.
Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth and melted. Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the popcorn and gently toss to coat.
Repeat the melting and drizzling process with the milk chocolate chips, followed by the white chocolate chips, ensuring an even coating of all three chocolates.
Sprinkle the sea salt and optional sprinkles over the popcorn while the chocolate is still melted to allow it to adhere.
Spread the chocolate-coated popcorn onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in an even layer and allow it to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Break the popcorn into clusters if needed before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
