Healthy, Salted Caramel, Popcorn Bites (Vegan option)

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.

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.
