Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Air-popped popcorn
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Powdered sugar (or sugar substitute)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 seconds of spray Cooking spray (butter-flavored or plain)
Instructions
Start by air-popping 6 cups of popcorn using an air-popper machine or your preferred method. Once popped, transfer the popcorn to a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.
Lightly spray the popcorn with cooking spray, tossing the bowl gently to coat the kernels evenly without making them soggy.
Sprinkle half of the cocoa powder mixture over the popcorn and toss well to distribute the coating. Repeat with the remaining cocoa mixture until all the popcorn is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a touch more salt or cocoa powder if desired.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor, or store in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
