So, I've been searching for another fun popcorn recipe to try. I really wanted to put it in some cute little lanterns I was making for Halloween. (Just some tissue paper mod podged on a mason jar. I made the eyes from vinyl scraps.) I've seen various popcorn recipes that have you melt a package of white chocolate chips and cover the popcorn with that. Well, I'm not a huge fan of white chocolate so I tried it with regular chocolate chips. Then I threw in some Reese's pieces. YUM. It was a mess to mix and even to eat. I did resort to putting it in the fridge to harden the chocolate back up from the original melt. These were so tasty. Kind of reminded me of chex muddy buddies. I wondered about tossing some powdered sugar in the mix to cover the chocolate but figured it would just end up making a powdered sugar mess. :) Sorry the picture is semi blurry. I really need to get the flash fixed on my camera.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unpopped popcorn
- 1 12 oz. bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Reese's pieces (I didn't measure, but that is my estimate of what I used. I just tossed some in until it looked good.
Directions
- Pop the popcorn in an air popper. Remove kernels. (Don't forget this step. Somehow I did on this batch. Not very pleasant to hit kernel every few bites.)
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave according to package directions. Mine said 1 minute then stir, then 30 second intervals. It only took 1 minute and 30 seconds.
- Stir popcorn and chocolate together. Spread onto wax paper or aluminum foil lined cookie sheet. Allow to cool. Mix in the Reese's pieces.
