Chocolate Popcorn Recipe

Here's the recipe exactly as I got it from my friend who first introduced me to this delicious treat:

What you'll need:

Guittards White Melting/Molding Chocolate - To my knowledge, it can only be bought at a place called "Funfinity" in Orem (otherwise you have to go to Salt Lake to get it) right next to the Distrubution Center and Deseret Book. It used to be called Shepherd's Cake and Candy supplies

Popcorn - I usually buy the movie butter kind because the butter works well with the chocolate, but I don't think it matters much which kind you get

Topping - My favorite is Raspberry Jell-O powder and Cinnamon Sugar, but you can put whatever you want on it (Black Cherry Jell-O is also good, but more a more subtle flavor).

Wax Paper

Large Mixing Bowl

Directions:

Melt the chocolate in a small sauce pan over low heat stirring occasionally (don't overheat the chocolate or it starts sticking to the bottom of the pan and gets "chunky"). Pop popcorn and empty into large mixing bowl, try not to get too many un-popped kernels in the bowl. Pour the melted chocolate over the popcorn and use a spatula to evenly coat the popcorn. Start small and add more chocolate as needed. It's suprising how little chocolate it takes to coat the popcorn. Once the popcorn is coated in chocolate, lay it out on the wax paper and lightly spread and flatten it out so that the popcorn isn't stacked on top of each other. Lightly sprinkle your topping over the popcorn, coating generously. (optional) use your hands or the spatula and mix the popcorn up and sprinkle the topping over it again trying to get the underside of the popcorn that didn't get coated with the topping the first time around. Let the popcorn dry for 10 minutes or so and then you can put it in neat little bags for Christmas presents or just eat it and enjoy!
