Chocolate Christmas Popcorn

I hope your holiday hustle and bustle is going well and that you are getting things crossed off your to-do list faster than I’m crossing things off mine!

On Sunday, the activity from our advent calendar was a “Surprise Christmas Movie Box”.  Basically, we had popcorn, bubbly juice, candy and watched “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”.  The original one.  My three-year-old would die if I tried to make him sit through a two hour Jim Carrey movie.

For our popcorn we made what we affectionately call “Christmas Crack”.  It’s super simple, but completely addicting!  I mean, chocolate and popcorn… I don’t know if you could really mess that up.  It’s awesome for get togethers, because it’s super easy to make a ton and feed lots of people.  Or to eat all yourself.  Whatever.  Or maybe share with the neighbors.  Or maybe not.

CHOCOLATE CHRISTMAS POPCORN

 The Best Christmas Popcorn is made with only 4 ingredients and takes less than 20 minutes to make!
Ingredients:
– 2.5 cups unpopped corn kernels
– 2 cups milk chocolate chips (you could use dark or semi-sweet chips too)
– 2 cups mint chips
– 14 Peppermint Kisses, unwrapped
Directions:
–  Pop the corn according to directions.  We prefer to pop it in an air popper.  Spread popped corn in a large baking sheet.
–  Put half of the chocolate and mint chips and the Kisses in separate, microwave-safe containers.
–  Heat the chocolate and mint chips and the Kisses in 20 second increments in the microwave.  Stir every 20 seconds.  Heat until nearly melted and then stir to melt the rest of the way.  Be careful not to scald your chocolate.
–  Use the long end of a spoon to dip into your chocolate and drizzle about half the melted chocolate over your popcorn.  Be generous.
–  Let stand until chocolate re-hardens.  We stick ours in the garage for about 15 minutes or so.
–  Gently turn popcorn, melt the other half of the chips and drizzle over the turned popcorn.  Let set again.
–  Gently turn the popcorn once again and break up the chocolate a little.  Pour into a bowl and serve!

Happy Holidays!
