Chocolate Popcorn
Our Chocolate Popcorn is sweet, salty, delicious, and chock full of chocolate flavor and white and dark chocolate candy. Yum, yum, yum.
We have a new addition to our Sweet Popcorn series and Chocolate lovers … this one is for you! Sweet, salty and chocolatey popcorn is mixed with chocolate chips and drizzled with white and dark chocolate. This Chocolate Popcorn is super delicious and your family will beg you for a second batch.
Preparing the Popcorn
Step 1: You will need 10 cups of popcorn. We pop our popcorn on the stove (you can find our directions on How to Make Perfect Popcorn here) but you can use air-popped or microwave.
Step 2: After the popcorn is popped, make sure to remove all of the un-popped kernels. You don’t want to bite down on one of those!
Step 3: Once you have made the popcorn, salt it liberally. It is so nice to taste the salty popcorn with the sweet marshmallow coating. Not quite like Kettle Corn but close.
How to Prepare the Marshmallow Mixture
Step 4: To make the Marshmallow Mixture, add 3 tablespoons of butter to a medium saucepan. Melt the butter on medium heat, stirring occasionally until the butter is completely melted.
Step 5: Add 3 cups of mini marshmallows to the saucepan.
Step 6: Stir until the marshmallows are covered in butter, and then continue to stir until the marshmallows are completely melted.
Step 7: Take the marshmallow mixture off the heat as soon as the last marshmallow has melted.
Adding the Chocolate
Step 8: When the mini marshmallows are nearly melted, add the 1/2 cup of Hershey’s Unsweetened Cocoa and continue to stir until the marshmallows are fully melted. Turn off the heat as soon as the last marshmallow has melted.
Step 9: Stir the mixture until the chocolate is fully incorporated.
Making the Sweet Popcorn
Step 10: Slowly pour the chocolate marshmallow mixture over the salted popcorn. Gently fold the chocolate marshmallow mixture in with the popcorn until the popcorn is covered.
Step 11: The amount of marshmallow mixture you want to add is really up to your own taste. The more you add, the more chocolately the popcorn will be so we suggest that you add it a bit at a time, stir the popcorn and give it a taste before you add more.
Step 12: Now pour the popcorn onto a cookie sheet covered with foil or a silpat liner to cool.
Adding the Chocolate Drizzle
Step 13: Here is the candy that we added to our popcorn. We used a handful of Nestle Chocolate Chunks and a handful of Nestle White Chocolate Chips. We also drizzled white and dark chocolate over the top of the popcorn. Place chocolate chunks and white chocolate chips in a plastic bag.
Step 14: Melt in a microwave for 10 seconds at a time until the chocolate has melted. Cut off a small tip of the bag and use this hole to drizzle chocolate over the popcorn.
Step 15: Now drizzle your melted chocolate over the popcorn. Finally, allow the popcorn to cool. Break apart into pieces and serve.
Expert Tips and FAQ’s
We make our popcorn from scratch on the stove – nothing is better than that in our opinion. You can find all the tips and tricks you need to make the perfect popcorn right here. You can also use Microwave popcorn but you should use a type that has no butter flavoring added.
The contrast of sweet and salty in this popcorn recipe is super yummy. To get that combination you should lean towards over-salting the popcorn. We try to salt the popcorn as soon as it comes out of the pan so that salt sticks to the hot popcorn.
Our family loves this popcorn so it has never lasted longer than a day at our house. This popcorn definitely tastes the best right after it is made but will keep for a few days in an airtight container. The popcorn is a little chewier the next day because the popcorn absorbs some of the moisture from the marshmallow mixture but it still tastes good.
