Last week I posted my recipe Healthy, Cherry/Chocolate Popcorn Bites! (vegan option, only 6-ingredients) and I also made a salted caramel version. They’re perfect for summer, but can be eaten anytime obviously. They’re a frozen dessert though so summer is best.
I used Lily’s Chocolate, but you can use vegan chocolate, or whatever kind you wanna use! I personally like Lily’s because it’s sweetened with stevia, NOT the nasty white refined sugar.
I just used regular butter popcorn by secret, but you can use whatever brand you want or even make it yourself. It would be interesting to try it with a flavored popcorn though.
I know, I know, it looks kinda weird/gross, but it’s not. Besides…it’s about the taste right?? That’s always been my motto, “as long as it tastes good, it doesn’t matter what it looks like.” Although I know sometimes it’s hard to get past what the food looks like, I always try to step out of my comfort zone and try new foods.
