A Night at the Oscars: Chocolate Covered Popcorn

The Academy Awards are tomorrow night. One really needs treats for "A Night at the Movies"! There will be Junior Mints, one of my favorite movie watching candies. I posted a recipe for homemade Junior Mints and Junior Mints Cheesecake the other day. And, of course, there will be Popcorn -- dressed appropriately for the occasion. Here's a simple recipe worthy of Oscar viewing!

You can use dark or white chocolate--or both. Just drizzle some great melted chocolate over your air-popped Popcorn. Drizzle sparingly.

CHOCOLATE COVERED POPCORN

1. Make a bag of popcorn (buttered or plain) and pop it according to the directions. (airpopping!)

2. Put popped popcorn into large bowl or flat baking pan (for more even distribution).

3. Melt dark or white chocolate or both (in separate bowls) in top of double boiler (or in microwave).

4. Drizzle chocolate on popcorn. You can always add more chocolate, but you can't remove it, so use sparingly.
