Valentines Popcorn

Here’s an easy and sweet snack to make with your sweethearts for Valentine’s Day – Valentines Popcorn.  There’s nothing more fun than sharing a big bowl of popcorn with your loved ones.

Valentines Popcorn

Here’s what you need to make Valentines Popcorn:

• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/3 cup popcorn kernels
• 5 oz dark chocolate
• M&M’s as desired
• Sprinkles as desired

In a sauce pan heat the oil over medium heat.  Add a couple popcorn kernels and cover.  Once the kernels begin to pop add the remaining kernels to the pan and give it a good shake.  Keep popcorn on the stove top until popping slows down to 2-3 seconds between pops.  Remove from heat and add to a large mixing bowl.

In a double boiler melt the chocolate, constantly stirring until it reaches a smooth consistency.  Once fully melted drizzle over the popcorn.  Allow chocolate to harden.

Add in M&M’s and sprinkles. Serve.

Your kids are going to love munching on this special Valentines treat.  Make a batch and enjoy it while preparing the kids valentines for school.

This Valentines Popcorn also makes a nice mason jar gift to ‘share the love’ with teachers and other service workers.
