Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Pop the popcorn kernels using the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Remove hulls if desired. Place popped corn in a large bowl.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
