White Chocolate drizzle popcorn

Who doesn't love popcorn for a quick snack or for a treat at the movie theater...or for baseball or soccer Mom's, a sideline snack?  I've had it on many occasions for lunch alone, and I know I'm not the only one who's done that!  

There are some ultimate popcorn at places like Dale & Thomas and Harry & David...hmm didn't notice that both places have two male names, funny...  Anyway, these places are famous for their specialty flavored popcorns and their chocolate covered popcorn.  I mean who hasn't had some Moose Munch a loved it?  

Well, I took it upon myself to try to replicate their full of flavor popcorn, and here is my recipe.  So the next time you are asked to bring something over for a movie night or a game night, make this popcorn and you will be the hit of the party!  

I start with 3 bags of microwave popcorn, popped.  Use whatever your favorite brand is, and buttered is fine...non-buttered is also fine, just whatever you like, or happen to have on hand.  

So, pop the popcorn per the directions...each bag individually.  And spread out the contents on wax paper.  I do this because you'll be drizzling chocolate over it...and you can spread out the popcorn to get all the un-popped corns out...we don't want to break any teeth do we?  While the the microwave is popping the corn, chop 1/2 cup of nuts...I use almonds, but honey roasted peanuts, cashews or pecans will also work just fine... and add to the currently popped corn on the wax paper.

After you have all the popcorn popped; melt 4 - 6 cubes of Almond Bark in the microwave for 1 min intervals until it is close to completely melted...do not over microwave or once it burns, you'll just need to throw it out and start over.  There is no coming back from burnt Almond Bark.

Add your flavoring to the almond bark.  I use a caramel flavored cocoa mix, but you can use hot chocolate or instant pudding to add a little flavoring.  You'll need about 2 Tablespoons of flavoring.  Just add, mix and taste to see if you like.  

Now, the popcorn and nuts are spread out on the wax paper, so all you need to do is drizzle the almond bark over the popcorn.  I sprinkle some, mix with hands and then sprinkle more.  This gives a good coating to everything.  Continue to add the almond bark until you think it's good, or you run out.  

Let sit for about 30 mins, until all the Almond Bark is dry, then put into a popcorn bowl to serve your guests, or put in a plastic bag and put in your purse for an upscale snack at the theater!  

Ingredient list:
- 3 bags of microwave popcorn
- 1/2 cup almonds (peanuts or pecans work too)
- 4 - 6 cubes of Almond Bark
- 2 T. hot chocolate or pudding for flavoring

You can try chocolate Almond Bark with other flavors too.  Warning though, this stuff is addictive, so make sure you have some friends around to help you eat some of it!

I think I'll make some tonight!  
Enjoy!
