Chocolate Popcorn

"What you see before you, my friend, is the result of a lifetime of chocolate." - Katherine Hepburn

Well I had planned to attempt to make the caramel popcorn the other night and got home from the grocery store only to realize that I had forgotten corn syrup.  So I attempted another one of my favorites… chocolate drizzled popcorn.  This is something I tried the first time I went to NYC and fell in love.  When I went back the store that had sold it had closed down and I haven’t been able to find it since.  I will admit Target carries a pretty amazing white chocolate/cinnamon popcorn but it still didn’t compare to the chocolate drizzled popcorn.  So I made my own chocolate drizzled and sprinkled with sea salt.  It was the perfect combination of sweet and salty.  I was surprised by how incredibly easy it was to make and couldn’t wait to pass it on!
