Chocolate-Covered Popcorn

It's summer and I finally had the time to make something for my blog again! These Chocolate-Covered Popcorn Rocks are a delicious summer treat and great for sleepovers. They are also very easy to make. For this recipe, I used dark chocolate, but I bet they are also delicious with milk chocolate. If you're not going to eat the Chocolate Popcorn right away, you can put them in the fridge so that the chocolate doesn't melt. I hope you like them!

You will need: 

2 tbsp canola oil

1/3 cup of popcorn kernels

3.5 oz/100 g dark or milk chocolate, broken into pieces

Optional: a pinch of salt

Extra: (popcorn) pan, a small baking sheet lined with parchment or waxed paper

1. Heat the oil in a popcorn pan or deep pan over high heat. Add the popcorn kernel, cover the pan and stir (or shake if you are using a deep pan) to make sure the kernels don't burn. Cook until the popping stops. Sprinkle some some salt over the popcorn, if using.

2. Melt the chocolate in a bowl that can be heated (or use a double boiler). Put the bowl on a pan with boiling water in it. make sure the water doesn't touch the bowl. Melt the chocolate slowly on a low temperature. Stir from time to time. 

3. Throw a small handful of the popcorn into the melted chocolate, stir carefully until most of the popcorn is covered with chocolate. With a spoon, scoop small heaps of the chocolate covered popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the chocolate has been used (you might still have some popcorn left).

4. Transfer to the fridge and let the chocolate set. Keep in the fridge until using. Enjoy!!!
