Title: Chocolate Cream Popcorn
Ingredients:
– 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
– 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
– 2 tbsp unsalted butter
– 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/4 tsp salt
– Optional: sprinkles, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut for topping
Instructions:
1. Pop the popcorn kernels using your preferred method – air-popped, stove-top, or microwave. Transfer the popped popcorn to a large mixing bowl, removing any unpopped kernels.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, heavy cream, and unsalted butter over low heat. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt, mixing well to combine all ingredients.
4. Slowly pour the chocolate cream mixture over the popped popcorn in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula to gently fold the chocolate mixture into the popcorn, ensuring each kernel is coated evenly.
5. Spread the chocolate cream-coated popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle your choice of optional toppings, such as colorful sprinkles, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut, over the popcorn for added flavor and decoration.
6. Allow the Chocolate Cream Popcorn to cool and set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or place it in the refrigerator for quicker setting.
7. Once the chocolate has hardened, break the popcorn into clusters and transfer it to a serving bowl or individual snack bags. Enjoy your tasty creation as a delightful snack or sweet indulgence.
