Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
- Place the popped corn in the largest baking pan you have (might have to do it in 2 batches if you only have a 9x13). You need to be able to stir the popcorn!
- 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. In double broiler, melt chocolate while popping the 3 bags of microwave popcorn. Put all popped corn in a large bowl. Pour the melted chocolate over it and stir with spatula or hands. Salt to give it a sweet and salty taste. Let cool...but don't put in fridge. It will make the popcorn stick to the bowl. Just put in a cool place. Then put in pretty bags with ribbon ties or in a plastic container.

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:
- Use the right popcorn: For a light and airy popcorn, use popping corn kernels. Avoid using microwave popcorn, as it will not produce the same results.
- Heat the oil properly: The oil should be shimmering and hot enough to pop the kernels when they are added. If the oil is not hot enough, the kernels will not pop properly and you will end up with unpopped kernels.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When popping popcorn, don't overcrowd the pot. Add just enough kernels to cover the bottom of the pot in a single layer. If you overcrowd the pot, the kernels will not pop properly and you will end up with unpopped kernels.
- Shake the pot while popping: While the popcorn is popping, shake the pot constantly. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the popcorn from burning.
- Remove the popcorn from the heat when it is finished popping: Once the popcorn has finished popping, remove it from the heat immediately. If you leave it on the heat for too long, it will burn.
- Flavor the popcorn to your liking: There are many different ways to flavor popcorn. You can add melted butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, or any other flavoring you like. You can also drizzle chocolate or caramel over the popcorn. For a sweet and salty treat, try drizzling melted chocolate over the popcorn and then sprinkling it with sea salt.
Conclusion:
Chocolate covered popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are watching a movie, having a party, or just want a sweet snack, chocolate covered popcorn is sure to satisfy your cravings.
