Hi there! Annie from Maebells bringing you a tasty new snack!
Sometimes, you just need chocolate.
That is exactly how I felt a few weekends ago. I needed chocolate, rich dark chocolate, and lots of it. I scoured the cabinets to see what sort of chocolate concoction I could come up with. While I blankly stared into my cabinets I saw a bag of popcorn and a bag of freeze fried strawberries. Bingo!
Chocolate Strawberry Covered Popcorn? Could that work? I wasn’t sure, but I was totally willing to experiment and find out! I popped the popcorn. Tossed a handful of the freeze dried strawberries in a blender and melted some chocolate. The result is a salty-sweet-fruity-chocolate bit of Heaven!
Instructions:
- 1 package simply salted microwaveable popcorn, I used Orville Redenbacher
- 1 tablespoon butter
1 cup freeze dried strawberries
1 cup dark chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Pop popcorn according to package directions. When popcorn has finished popping melt butter and toss popcorn in the butter, making sure to distribute it as best you can.
2. Using a food processor blend 1-2 tablespoons of the dried strawberries. Sprinkle the strawberry dust over the popcorn.
3. Spread popcorn out on a sheet of wax paper, sprinkle the remaining strawberries over the popcorn.
4. Melt butter according to package directions. Drizzle over popcorn. Let cool and store in an air tight container.
