Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
10 mins

In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and begins to gently simmer. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

In an extra-large bowl, gently mix the popped popcorn with the roasted salted almonds. Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the popcorn and almond mixture. Using a spatula or large spoon, gently stir until all the popcorn and almonds are evenly coated in the chocolate. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Spread the chocolate-covered popcorn in a single layer onto several large baking sheets lined with parchment paper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

05

Step
1 hrs

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes to ensure even drying. (Bake time: 1 hour)

06

Step
30 mins

Remove from the oven and allow the popcorn to cool completely on the baking sheets. Once cooled, break into pieces and transfer to airtight containers for storage. (Cooling time: 30 minutes)

For a deeper chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
Feel free to substitute other nuts, such as pecans or walnuts.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
For a festive touch, sprinkle with sea salt or powdered sugar after baking.
