Ingredients

  • 1⁄2 cup Mushroom Popcorn Seed
  • 2 cups Compound Chocolate
  • (Guittard A’peels or Callebaut Snaps)
  • OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS
  • Accent colors (colored chocolate, crushed candy, peanuts, etc.)
  • Flavorings (LorAnn oil flavorings) (Must be oil based, not water based)

Instructions

1

Melt chocolate in the microwave in a plastic or silicone bowl (Cannot be glass or ceramic).

2

This works well at full power for 30 seconds at a time. Stir after each 30 second interval.

3

Pop corn seed. (We find that an air popper or a microwave popper works very well)

4

Divide popcorn in two large bowls or a large paper sack. (A tumbler works great)

5

Pour in a small amount of melted chocolate into the bowls or sack. Shake.

6

Continue adding small amounts of chocolate until all the popcorn is coated. (This step takes the longest and must be continuous so that the coating will be consistent.)

7

Spread immediately on a cookie sheet insuring that the popcorn is spread thinly on the sheet for accent coatings.

8

Allow the chocolate coating to set before continuing. (Allow about 5 minutes)

9

Melt accent colors the same as noted above.

10

Add oil based flavoring and/or oil based coloring.

11

Drizzle over popcorn with a rubber or silicone spatula.

12

Be creative with the colors and the flavors. You can create a treat for any season of the year.
