How to Make Chocolate Popcorn Bars

Melt 12 ounces of chocolate chips in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until completely smooth and melted. Alternatively, microwave chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth.
In a large bowl, combine 6 cups of popped popcorn (about 1/2 cup of kernels) with 1/2 cup of your favorite candy (optional).
Pour the melted chocolate over the popcorn mixture, stirring gently but thoroughly until every piece of popcorn is evenly coated.
Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Press the chocolate-covered popcorn firmly and evenly into the prepared pan.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is completely firm.
Once firm, lift the bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
Cut into 2 1/4 x 2 inch bars and serve. Refrigerate leftover bars in an airtight container.
