I live in popcorn country, and there's even a town nearby that has a "Popcorn Days" celebration. This is a good snack and also good for entertaining during the holidays, especially because it can be made ahead of time.

I tried this recipe with a few modifications. I used dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet, and I added a teaspoon of cinnamon. It turned out amazing! The dark chocolate added a rich, decadent flavor and the cinnamon gave it a warm, spicy kick.
