Cupid Popcorn Crunch

Cooking Instructions:

1. Add your oil and popcorn to your whirley pop and place on the stovetop on
medium heat. If you do not have a whirley pop (why wouldn’t you though?!?) you
can pop your popcorn in a large pot fitted with a lid and continuously shake your
popcorn every 10 seconds. You want a very plain popcorn since we will be
adding so many other flavors to it, so buttered popcorn is a NO here. Keep
turning the whirley pop handle or shaking your pot until you no longer hear the
kernels popping or until it'sa very seldom and spaced out.
2. Pour your popcorn in an even layer on a large baking tray and allow to cool.
Once cool, mix in your pretzels.
3. While the popcorn is cooling, melt your chocolate. I put my chocolate in a
microwave safe bowl and heat it up in increments of 30 seconds, stirring in
between each 30 seconds until the chocolate is totally melted. Take your time
here, so you do not burn or seize your chocolate. You can also use the double
boiler method on the stovetop and melt your chocolate on low heat, stirring
constantly until all your chocolate is melted.
4. Taking a spoon or spatula, drizzle one chocolate at a time over the popcorn until
both chocolates are gone. While the chocolate is warm, add the M&M’s so they
stick and any other optional additions you like.
5. Allow the chocolate to dry and set. Once dry and set, your snack mix is ready to
be snacked on!! You can also place it in individual boxes or baggies for a fun
treat for your valentines.
