Chocolate Covered Popcorn

Grant loves popcorn more than almost any other food and everyone loves eating chocolate with it for that salty sweet combo. This recipe is beyond easy and its really yummy. Kids will love it, they can even help on the making of it.


Ingredients:

1 bag of your preferred microwave popcorn
1 cp of chocolate chips
1 Tblsp of butter


1. Pop the popcorn the way you always do
2. Pick out the unpopped kernels (you can skip this tedious step, but be careful when you're eating it because the unpopped ones stick to the normal ones and they will hurt your teeth)
3. Put popped popcorn in large bowl.
4. Put chocolate chips and butter in bowl and microwave 30 seconds at a time until melted, smooth, and glossy. Make sure to stir every 30 seconds when you check it.
5. Pour melted chocolate over popcorn and use a wooden spoon to carefully stir until popcorn is well covered.
6. Cover a cookie sheet with wax paper and pour popcorn onto it spreading it out evenly.
7. Put in refrigerator for an hour or two or until chocolate is hard.
8. Break apart large pieces and put in bowl to serve.

Makes enough for 3-4 people to have a nice little snack.
Takes 10 minutes to make then an hour in the fridge.
