Categories     Snack

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 c popped popcorn (see Note*)
3 Tbsp honey (should be able to use agave or maple syrup for strict vegan)
2 Tbsp coconut oil or unsalted butter
2 Tbsp dark or regular cocoa powder
1/2-1 tsp Mexican Chocolate Spice Mix (see Note**, amount based upon your preference for how spicy you would like it)
1/4 tsp kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Place popcorn in a large bowl.
  • In a small pot, combine honey, coconut oil or butter, cocoa powder, Mexican Chocolate Spice Mix (or combination of spices as per Note**), and salt over low heat, and stir until melted and smooth.
  • Drizzle mixture over popped popcorn and gently stir until evenly coated. This may take a couple of minutes to ensure the glaze is evenly distributed.
  • Spread popcorn into a single layer on prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, remove from the oven and stir, then spread back out into a single layer.
  • Return to the oven and bake in 3 minute intervals, stirring each time until the popcorn is nearly dry. You will probably need two or three more 3 minute intervals. Be careful to avoid burning the popcorn.
  • Allow to cool completely. Popcorn will continue to harden as it cools. Store in an airtight container, if it lasts that long.

Categories     Vegan

Time 3m

Yield 6 popcorn batches, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup high-fat cocoa (this is still relativley low in fat, but the more fat the better it sticks)
1 -2 tablespoon chili powder
sugar or sugar substitute

Steps:

  • Mix.
  • Shake over popcorn whenever you make some! (Freshly air popped will cause the mix to stick, and will keep the fat content low, though it is a bit dry. Still a healthy option, oil-popped (microwaved) popcorn will stick better and be moister. Feel free to add butter as u wish).
  • Eat! (I like to use chopsticks to keep my hands clean.).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your popcorn will taste. Look for organic popcorn kernels and high-quality chocolate.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When popping the popcorn, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the kernels from popping evenly.
  • Keep the pan moving: While the popcorn is popping, keep the pan moving over the heat. This will help to prevent the popcorn from burning.
  • Season the popcorn immediately: Once the popcorn is popped, season it immediately with the melted chocolate and other toppings. This will help to ensure that the popcorn is evenly coated.
  • Serve the popcorn warm: Mexican chocolate popcorn is best served warm. This will allow the flavors of the chocolate and toppings to really shine through.

Conclusion:

Mexican chocolate popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth without feeling guilty.
