How to Make Chocolate Popcorn

  1. Melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.
  2. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup milk, 2 tablespoons water, and 4 tablespoons butter to the melted chocolate. Stir to combine.
  3. Add a pinch of salt (or to taste).
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Continue boiling until it reaches the soft-ball stage (235-240°F on a candy thermometer). Remove from heat immediately.
  5. Stir the mixture vigorously until it becomes creamy and slightly thickens.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 6 cups popped popcorn.
  7. Pour the mixture into a buttered 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. Let cool completely to room temperature.
  9. Once set, cut into squares and enjoy!
