How to Make Linda's Chocolate Popcorn
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
- Place 6 cups of popped popcorn in a large (13x9 inch) roasting pan.
- Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, and ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the popcorn in the roasting pan. Mix gently but thoroughly to coat all the popcorn.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring gently every 15 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even coating.
- If adding nuts, stir in 1 cup of your favorite nuts (peanuts, cashews, pecans, or a mix) now. Mix gently to distribute evenly.
- Remove from the oven and spoon the popcorn onto a large sheet of waxed paper to cool completely. Gently stir occasionally to separate the clusters as it cools.
- Once cooled, store in an airtight container or individual baggies. Enjoy!
