Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees.

- Melt butter in a very large saucepan (see step 6).
- Add brown sugar and corn syrup. Stirring CONSTANTLY, bring to a boil and boil 5 minute.
- Add peanuts (if desired).
- Add soda (will foam up, so be ready).
- Pour caramel over popcorn and mix well.
- Bake popcorn one hour, stirring every 10-15 minute.
- Remove from oven and cool completely. You'll have to stir it every once in a while so it doesn't stick together.
- Spray a cookie sheet with oil or cover with parchment paper.
- Melt half of chocolate per package directions (you can melt more when you need it).
- Dip popcorn pieces in chocolate and place chocolate-covered popcorn pieces individually on the cookie sheet so they can set up.
- Popcorn can be stored at room temp or in the refrigerator. Just keep cool so it doesn't melt.

Steps:
- 1. Pop the bag of popcorn; spread onto parchment paper. Remove all un-popped kernels (careful, they are hot!) Let popcorn cool.
- 2. Melt almond bark according to package directions in the microwave or on a double boiler. Using a spoon drizzle over cooked popcorn; use decorative sprinkles, if desired, before the almond bark has hardened. Let it stand for 15-20 minutes until the bark has hardened. Once hard, carefully use your fingers to "toss" the popcorn gently. Repeat the coating process again. Makes awesome goodie and gift bags! Enjoy!
Tips for Making Perfect Chocolate-Covered Popcorn:
- Use high-quality popcorn kernels. Fresh, non-GMO kernels will yield the best results. - Pop the popcorn in a large pot or air popper. Make sure to shake or stir the popcorn while it's popping to prevent burning. - Remove any unpopped kernels from the popcorn before coating it in chocolate. This will help to prevent the chocolate from becoming too thick or grainy. - Use a high-quality chocolate for coating the popcorn. Semi-sweet or dark chocolate works well. You can also use white chocolate or milk chocolate, but be sure to adjust the sweetness of the popcorn accordingly. - Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. If you're using the microwave, be sure to heat the chocolate in short bursts, stirring in between, to prevent it from burning. - Coat the popcorn in the melted chocolate using a spoon or spatula. Be sure to evenly coat all of the popcorn. - Spread the chocolate-covered popcorn out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let the chocolate harden completely before serving. - For a fun twist, you can add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or sprinkles to the chocolate-covered popcorn before it hardens.Conclusion:
Chocolate-covered popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for parties, movie nights, or as a snack. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious treat that everyone will love.
