Ingredients

Chocolate Chips. You can use whatever chocolate chips you like. I like using milk chocolate for this recipe, but you can use dark chocolate or a combination of both! You can also use your favorite chocolate bars.

Peanut Butter. You can use chunky or smooth peanut butter, I used chunky for a bit of added flavor.

Popcorn. I buy the sea salt bagged popcorn from ALDI, you can buy whatever bag of popcorn is your favorite. You can also make homemade popcorn or microwave popcorn!

How to make chocolate drizzled popcorn

Place parchment paper across a cookie baking sheet.
Spread the popcorn on a cookie sheet in one flat layer.
Melt chocolate and peanut butter, 30 seconds, stir, 30 seconds, stir and then melt for an additional 10 seconds I ended up melting mine for a total of 1 minute 20 seconds.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the popcorn.
Place the popcorn in the fridge for 1 hour.
Break into pieces and serve.

How do you melt peanut butter and chocolate chips in the microwave?

It is so easy to melt chocolate chips and peanut butter together in the microwave.

Add your chocolate chips and peanut butter to a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave for 30 seconds, stir. Microwave for another 30 seconds, stir.
If it still isn't melted fully, continue to microwave for 10 seconds and stir after every 10 seconds.

Note: You can use the double boiler method, but I find microwaving the easiest!

Substitutes and variations

Add sprinkles. Anything you can add sprinkles on, you should. If you want to add some pops of color and a fun and festive twist, add sprinkles!

Add crushed peanuts. If you want an added crunch, add crushed peanuts to the top to really add to the peanut butter flavor.

Use white chocolate chips. Add white chocolate and then top with colored sprinkles, a drizzle of colored melts or anything!

Caramel Corn or Kettle Corn. If you really want to make this a decadent chocolate-drizzled popcorn recipe, you can use caramel corn. It's such a quick dessert that is done in no time.

Tips for the best chocolate drizzled popcorn

Parchment Paper. If you don't want your chocolate drizzle popcorn to stick to the baking sheet, I recommend using parchment paper. Don't use wax paper! The wax will melt onto the hot chocolate when you pour the melted chocolate chips over the popcorn.

Flaky Sea Salt. Top your chocolate popcorn with a little bit of flaky salt for the perfect salty flavor finish.

Coconut Oil. If you want your chocolate to melt very well, add a spoonful of coconut oil for best results.

Storing leftover chocolate drizzled popcorn

Store any leftover popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days.
