Chocolate Popcorn
- 3 Tablespoons Unrefined Coconut Oil, Divided
- 1/4 cups To 1/3 Cups Popcorn Kernels
- 1 cup Unsalted Peanuts
- 1- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips (milk, Semi-sweet Or Dark Chocolate)
- 13 cups Honey
- 13 cups Real Maple Syrup
- 1/4 teaspoons Real Vanilla Extract
- Kosher Salt To Taste
- Note: 1/4 to 1/3 cup of popcorn kernels should yield about 8-10 Cups of popped.
- So if you are starting with popped, then youll need about 8-10 Cups!
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F and grease a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Heat one tablespoon of coconut oil in a large pot over medium-high/high heat.
- Once oil is hot, add a single popcorn kernel.
- Place lid on pot and wait for the kernel to pop.
- Once the kernel has popped, sprinkle in the remaining popcorn kernels to form a single layer on the bottom of the pan.
- Keep the pan on the burner but shake often as the kernels pop.
- Keep heating and shaking until the popping subsides and you no longer hear kernels rattling when you shake it.
- Be careful not to burn the popcorn!
- Place the popcorn onto the rimmed baking sheet and stir in the peanuts, set aside.
- In a heavy-bottom saucepan, add in the chocolate, honey, maple syrup and remaining coconut oil.
- Over medium heat, stir often until melted and smooth.
- Add in the vanilla, stir and then pour the mixture over the popcorn/peanut mixture.
- Toss well to coat.
- Place into your preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, toss to combine everything, and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and toss one last time before baking for a final 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool on pan.
- Stir to keep everything from sticking, season with kosher salt and serve slightly warm.
- Store in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks.
- Note: To keep this gluten free and dairy free, use dark chocolate and coconut oil.
