Black and White Chocolate Popcorn

     If you like popcorn and you love chocolate, then you will want to make these treats.  Kids love helping with these and if you need a nice gift or a pot luck dessert, try these!

     There are two recipes here, one for white chocolate and one for milk chocolate, but the differences don't end there.  One is a bit salty and has some fruit while the other is peanut butter flavored.  Why don't I stop talking about it and just let you see for yourself? 


     If you have an air popper, use that or low-fat microwave popcorn.  You want the least amount of butter on the popcorn when you add the flavoring so it all sticks.




1/3 cup of unpopped popcorn (this is enough for both flavors, 5 cups popped each)
Pop the popcorn then:

Sweet and salty

5 oz of white candy coating
1/2 cup mini M&Ms
1/2 cup broken mini pretzels
1/2 cup raisins (or try any dried fruit)

Melt the candy coating in the microwave.  Try for 1 minute and then go in 10 second intervals, stirring in between until melting.  Stir the candy coating into 5 cups of the popped popcorn.  Then add the rest of the ingredients and stir until mixed. 

 
Chocolate Peanut Butter

9 mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
1 Tablespoon of butter

1/2 cup of honey roasted peanuts

Melt the peanut butter cups with butter over low heat.  Stir the melted chocolate into the remaining 5 cups of popcorn and add the peanuts.  Continue stirring until mixed.  I left a few clumps of chocolate because I like it that way. 

Let each cool for about 30 minutes, then put in an airtight containers - or just eat them.  I ate mine while it was still warm but if I had any left, I would have let it cool then stored it.
