For a deeper chocolate flavor, try using dark cocoa powder. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. For a less sweet treat, reduce the sugar to 1/4 cup. Be sure to turn the handle (or stir) constantly to prevent the popcorn from burning. Store any leftover popcorn in an airtight container to maintain its crispness.
