Steps:
- On a flat surface, lay out a silicone mat or a large piece of wax paper.
- Prepare the popcorn if it's unpopped. Then add it on to the prepared surface.
- Next either melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler or the microwave. If you are using the double boiler method, let the water get to a simmer. Do NOT let it get to a rolling boil. That will be too hot to properly melt the chocolate. Slowly stir the chips occasionally so that they thoroughly melt.
- Once the chocolate is melted, you can either keep in the bowl and drizzle the chocolate all over the popcorn or you can add it to a plastic squeeze bottle by using a funnel and drizzle it that way.
- Then add on your favorite sprinkles and candy. You can also add pretzels or whatever else your family prefers.
- Let the mixture set until the chocolate has hardened. Break apart then enjoy!
