Ingredients

For the stovetop dark chocolate popcorn, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create this delicious popcorn:

  1. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add a few popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with a lid. Once you hear them pop, you know the oil is hot enough.
  2. Carefully remove the lid and add the rest of the popcorn kernels to the pot. Replace the lid and shake the pot gently to ensure even popping.
  3. Continue to shake the pot every few seconds until the popping slows down, about 2-3 minutes. Once the popping has significantly slowed, remove the pot from heat. Let it sit for a minute before removing the lid to avoid any stray pops.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the popped popcorn and melted dark chocolate. Stir thoroughly to coat each piece of popcorn. Add salt to taste and vanilla extract if desired.
  6. Spread the chocolate-coated popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow it to cool for a few minutes so the chocolate can set.
  7. Once cooled, break into pieces and enjoy your delicious stovetop dark chocolate popcorn!

This recipe is not only quick and easy but also customizable. You can adjust the amount of chocolate and salt to fit your taste! Enjoy this delightful snack anytime you’re in the mood for something sweet!
