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 stared into my cabinets I saw a bag of popcorn and a bag of freeze dried strawberries. 

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!

Valentines Day Dessert Recipe

This delicious popcorn reminds me so much of the classic chocolate covered strawberries we always have for Valentine’s Day! We love this popcorn so much that now it has been one of our go-toValentine’s Day dessert recipes along with this Raspberry Chocolate Cake or Red Velvet Cake.

How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberry Popcorn

Large bowl of popcorn, small white bowls with freeze dried strawberries and dark chocolate chips on a black surface.

Ingredients:

  • bag of salty microwave popcorn (I use Orville Redenbacher)
  • butter
  • freeze dried strawberries
  • dark chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Pop popcorn according to package directions. When popcorn has finished popping, melt butter and toss popcorn in the butter. Distribute it as evenly as you can.

2. Use a food processor to 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 chocolate according to package directions. Drizzle over popcorn. Let it cool and if you have any leftovers, store them in an air-tight container.

So, isn’t this the perfect Valentine’s Day dessert recipe? We love that it isn’t too heavy! Also, MSN called this ‘your new Netflix and Chill snack.‘ – haha!

    I think that step 4 which currently reads “4. Melt butter according to package directions. Drizzle over popcorn. Let cool and store in an air tight container.” should read “Melt chocolate. Drizzle over…..” I’ve never seen butter melting on package directions! I need a trip to Trader Joes for some freeze dried strawberries!

      Oh man! You are totally right. It is supposed to say chocolate, not butter. This is an old post and I’m updating it right now!

    Maybe I missed it in the recipe but when do you put the chocolate on the popcorn?

      So sorry! The instructions have a mistake in them, Step 4 is supposed to say ‘melt chocolate’ instead of ‘melt butter’ and drizzle it over the popcorn. I’m fixing it right now.
