Chocolate Popcorn
An Explosion Of Delightful Flavors



chocolate popcornDo you love the sweet and salty combination of chocolate popcorn? I sure do. My family has always loved a late night popcorn snack. Dad and I would make a date to enjoy some well buttered and salted mouthwatering popcorn together.

I still enjoy the old standby traditional popcorn, but I have to admit that there is just something pretty awesome about chocolate covered popcorn. This delightful snack adds new meaning to the word "delicious."

One of the finest popcorn suppliers I've found is Dale and Thomas Popcorn I admit that I have a hard time even looking at the pictures of the different chocolate popcorn varieties on their site without breaking down and ordering myself some.

Go ahead and treat yourself or a loved one to Hand-finished Premium Popcorn for a special occasion. It is okay to indulge every now and then.

But, if you want, you can just make some of your own. Check out some of these chocolate covered popcorn recipes and prepare some for yourself or your family and friends.

There are several different types of these yummy popcorn recipes. Depending on your chocolate preference, try out one of these easy to make masterpieces:



How To Make Popcorn

hot air popper
It doesn't really matter if you make the popcorn in a hot air popper or on the stove top. Obviously, the hot air popper is a lot easier and you don't have to watch it too closely to keep it from burning. On the other hand, I have always felt that I get a slightly metallic after taste from air popped corn. But that may just be my crazy taste buds. :)



To make popcorn on the stove top:

Be sure to use a LARGE pot. :) I tend to get into trouble because I don't always use a big enough pot. It gets a bit dicey when it is popping away and overflowing!

Place enough oil in the pot to just cover the bottom. Turn on the heat to medium/low and only add two or three kernels to start. Put the lid on and wait, patiently. :)

The popping should start coming pretty fast and furious for a bit. When it slows down, be careful. This is when you are about done and the burning starts. Don't expect all kernels to pop. Learn from my experience! If you wait for that to happen, you WILL burn your popcorn.

Pour popped corn into a large bowl. If you are making one of those wonderful chocolate popcorn recipes listed above, spray the bowl (or roasting pan if directed) with cooking spray. This will help to keep the coating from sticking to the bowl or pan.

That's it! What could be simpler? Just remember - SHARE! I hope you fall in love with chocolate popcorn as much as I have. Enjoy.
