Servings: 8
Ingredients
- Popcorn kernels
- 1/2 cup
- Coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup
- Almonds
- 1/2 cup, chopped
- Shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup, toasted
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until melted.
- Add the popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with a lid. Shake the pot occasionally to ensure even popping and prevent burning.
- Once the popping slows down to about 2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat and let it sit for a minute to allow any remaining kernels to pop.
- Transfer the freshly popped popcorn to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with salt, tossing to coat.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until completely smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the warm popcorn, ensuring every piece gets a touch of that luscious chocolatey goodness.
- Sprinkle the chopped almonds and toasted shredded coconut over the popcorn, then gently stir to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
- Allow the popcorn to cool for a few minutes so the chocolate can harden slightly before serving.
