Recipe :: Double Chocolate Covered Peppermint Popcorn

     
     
I have the most amazing POPCORN treat for you today. How often do you follow a recipe on the back of a package? Honestly I don't really notice them or I forget to write it down. BUT that changed and I finally remembered to try one and by am I glad I did! But of course, I have to make it MY own and change it up a bit, so it all turns out amazing and delish, so it's all good. ')
I found the original recipe on the back of this package of Kraft Jet-Puffed peppermint marshmallows around the holidays. I changed it just a little by adding MORE chocolate because hello! . . .who doesn't like MORE chocolate.


Here's the altered recipe:
Double Chocolate Covered Peppermint Popcorn
- prep time: 10 min.
- bake time: 25 min.
Makes: 24 servings of 1/2 cup each
What you need:
- 1/2 tsp. salt divided
- 3 bags of microwave popcorn
- 4 oz. Baker's semi-sweet chocolate
- 1/2 cup (1stick) of butter
- 40-50 Jet-Puffed mini peppermint mallows marshmallows

 

Make it:
- heat oven to 275 degrees

- sprinkle 1/4 tsp. salt over popcorn in large bowl, toss to coat and set aside.
 - melt chocolate and butter in medium saucepan on low heat, stirring frequently.
- add marshmallows, stir until completely melted. Remove from heat; stir in remaining 1/4 tsp. salt. Pour over popcorn, toss to coat. Spread onto greased baking sheet.
- bake 20-25 minutes or until crisp, stir after 15 minutes.
- cool on wax paper.
- using chocolate melts (chocolate wafers) melt as directed and drizzle over popcorn for added color/flacor
- add any additional candies/sprinkles. (for this we added sixlets and M&Ms) 




Doesn't this look amazing? I'm tellin ya, if you are a popcorn lover, you are in soooooo much trouble as this is addicting! So who's gonna make some soon?
