Chocolate Drizzle Popcorn Treat (Printable)

Airy popcorn mixed with a smooth chocolate coating and a hint of sea salt for a tasty snack.

# What You'll Need:

→ Popcorn

01 - 1/2 cup popcorn kernels or 6 cups plain popped popcorn
02 - 2 tablespoons neutral oil (canola or vegetable), for popping kernels

→ Chocolate Drizzle

03 - 3.5 oz semisweet or dark chocolate, chopped
04 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

→ Optional Toppings

05 - 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt
06 - 2 tablespoons toasted chopped nuts
07 - 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips or sprinkles

# How To Make It:

01 - Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add popcorn kernels, cover with a lid, and shake occasionally until popping slows. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then transfer to a large mixing bowl.
02 - Melt chocolate and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler.
03 - Drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the popcorn. Gently toss or stir to lightly and thoroughly coat the kernels.
04 - Spread popcorn onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and any optional toppings chosen.
05 - Allow to sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes until chocolate is set. Break apart and serve.

# Tips from dashanddishes:

01 -
  • It's ready in fifteen minutes, which means you can satisfy sweet cravings faster than you can stream your favorite show
  • The contrast between salty popcorn and rich chocolate is genuinely addictive in the most honest way
  • You can customize it endlessly, making it feel fancy or nostalgic depending on what mood strikes
02 -
  • Room temperature matters—setting it in the fridge seems smart but makes the chocolate snap and crack when you bite it; patience at room temperature gives you a smooth chocolate shell
  • The flaky sea salt isn't optional if you want this to taste restaurant-worthy; it's the element that makes people ask for your recipe
03 -
  • Don't skip the parchment paper—it prevents sticking and cleanup becomes almost nonexistent
  • If your chocolate seizes or breaks, add a small amount of coconut oil (not water) and stir gently to bring it back to silky life
