White Chocolate Buttered Popcorn

The secret to making amazing chocolate-covered popcorn is this- butter.  The salty butter is the perfect contrast to sweet chocolate; so the more butter- the better!  This mouth-watering recipe is super simple, and I’m making a platter of it this year for Valentine’s Day.  Although, it can be made anytime of the year.

White Chocolate Buttered Popcorn Recipe

Ingredients:

1. buttered popcorn- 10-12 cups popped
2. white chocolate- 16 oz.
3. canola oil- 3 tablespoons
4. pink food coloring

Directions:

1. melt chocolate with oil in a double-boiler, fondue pot, or small pan over a medium-sized pan of boiling water.
2. In small batches, drizzle chocolate over popcorn and loosely toss with big spoons or hands, then transfer to a platter
3. once all the popcorn is on the platter, the chocolate will begin to dry and form the mold that was made with the popcorn while it was still melted
4. take half of the remaining melted chocolate on a spoon and drizzle over the top of the popcorn using swift motion
5. add a few drops of food coloring to the remaining melted chocolate; if it begins to harden, add more oil
6. drizzle pink chocolate over the top using the same motion
7. let dry

ooh la la!
