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.

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:
- Choose high-quality popcorn kernels. Fresh, non-GMO kernels will pop better and taste more flavorful.
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven. This will give the popcorn plenty of room to pop without burning.
- Add oil and kernels to the pot. Use just enough oil to coat the bottom of the pot. Add the popcorn kernels and stir to coat them with the oil.
- Heat the pot over medium-high heat. Keep the lid on the pot and shake it occasionally to distribute the kernels evenly.
- Listen for the popping sounds. Once the popcorn starts popping, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue shaking the pot.
- Remove the pot from the heat when the popping slows down. Pour the popcorn into a large bowl and let it cool slightly before adding the Mexican chocolate sauce.
- Make the Mexican chocolate sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, milk, butter, and cinnamon. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Pour the Mexican chocolate sauce over the popcorn. Stir to coat the popcorn evenly.
- Enjoy your Mexican chocolate popcorn! Serve it warm or at room temperature.
