Recipe Summary:

• Cook Time: 5 minutes
• Total Time: 15 minutes
• Servings: 6
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients:

• 8 cups plain popped popcorn
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1/2 cup finely chopped almonds
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)

Instructions:

1. Spread the popped popcorn evenly on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
3. Using a spoon or a fork, drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the popcorn, ensuring an even distribution.
4. Sprinkle the finely chopped almonds over the chocolate-drizzled popcorn while the chocolate is still warm.
5. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the popcorn to enhance the flavors.
6. Let the popcorn sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, about 10 minutes.
7. Once set, break the popcorn into clusters and transfer to a serving bowl.

Helpful Tips:

• For easier preparation: Use store-bought pre-popped plain popcorn.
• Flavor variations: Add a dash of cinnamon or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for a unique twist.
• Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Ingredient substitutions: Substitute dark chocolate with milk or white chocolate, or use your preferred nuts if almonds are not available.

Complementary Pairings:

Serve this delightful snack with a hot cup of herbal tea or a glass of cold milk for a balanced treat. For a perfect movie night, pair it with a selection of fresh fruits and a cheese platter.
