Chocolate Covered Popcorn Recipe

1/4 cups popcorn kernels

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Salt

5 ounces red melting chocolate

5 ounces green melting chocolate

Pop kernels with vegetable oil in a popcorn popper or on the stove top.  This should yield about 4-6 cups of popped popcorn.  Transfer hot popcorn evenly onto two cookie sheets lined with wax paper in a single layer.  Sprinkle lightly with salt.   

Melt the red and green melting chocolate in two separate bowls per package directions.   Using a spoon for each color, drizzle the chocolate over the popcorn.  Once the chocolate is set break the popcorn into pieces. 

Enjoy!

Tips:

1)       If you don’t want to pop your own popcorn, use plain popped lightly salted popcorn.

2)       Use any colored chocolate for any holiday you are celebrating.
