I was trying to think up another recipe, and as you know, I like to use the dried fruits our neighbor gives us. Also, I like having a crunch in my food. So I decided to try adding in popcorn, and OF COURSE CHOCOLATE!!!
These are a little tart, but you gotta off-set that sweet sometimes too right?!?!?! These are super simple to make, and don’t require a lot of ingredients! Which is always a plus in my book. I love recipes that are not only healthy, but also quick to whip up for any occasion.
I used to be a butter popcorn person straight up, which is what kind I used for this recipe! Like kettle corn was a definite NO WAY!! Now I prefer kettle corn over regular popcorn. Secret is probably the kind we use the most, but you can use whatever you want. It won’t make a difference either way.
