Sweeten up your next movie night and make a batch of this Chocolate Drizzled Popcorn. This chocolate covered popcorn is the perfect combination of sweet and salty and absolutely addictive. Don't say I didn't warn you.

If you love sweet and salty popcorn (or kettle corn as it's also known) you are going to go crazy for this Chocolate Drizzled Popcorn. Freshly popped popcorn is covered in milk or dark chocolate (your choice) and sprinkled with a little salt for the ultimate movie night snack.

I love to make a batch of stovetop popcorn to make this recipe but feel free to use air popped popcorn or even a pack of microwave or pre-popped popcorn instead.

This really is the easiest recipe to make at home. The hardest part will be trying not to eat it all while waiting for the popcorn to set!

INGREDIENTS

chocolate popcorn ingredients including popcorn kernels and chocolate.

Here's what you'll need to make a batch of this chocolate drizzled popcorn (measurements listed in the full recipe at the bottom of this post)...

  • Olive Oil
  • Popcorn Kernels
  • Milk or Dark Chocolate
  • Salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat olive oil and two popcorn kernels in a saucepan on medium heat. Cover the saucepan and wait for the kernels to pop. This can take several minutes and that's ok. Be patient. When they pop, you know you're ready to go!

Add the rest of the kernels in and cover the saucepan. Remove from heat immediately and give the saucepan a good shake to mix the kernels with the oil. Return to heat and wait for the popping to begin.

Shake the pot at regular intervals to ensure all the kernels are popping and none get burnt. There's a bonus arm workout here.

Add chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl (if it's a block, break it up first) and microwave on high in 20 second intervals, stirring well each time, until melted and smooth.

Using a fork, spatula or spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the popcorn. Give the popcorn a good stir one or two times and drizzle again to ensure it's coated evenly.

TOP TIPS

  • Stir the popcorn around a few times as you drizzle the chocolate over it so that you don't end up with a bunch of popcorn that is missed in the bottom.
  • You could definitely do a combination of white and milk or dark chocolate for an extra indulgent treat.
  • If you're impatient and can't wait for the popcorn to dry at room temperature you can throw it in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up.
  • Feel free to use air popped popcorn or even pre-popped popcorn to drizzle chocolate over if you'd prefer.
  • I think chocolate drizzled popcorn is best enjoyed immediately once the chocolate has dried, however, it can be stored for a few days in an airtight container.

Peanut Butter Eggs Recipe 🥜🥚🍫 : https://www.cookitrealgood.com/peanut-butter-eggs/

OR comment with "Peanut" and I'll DM you the link!

For me, this Peanut Butter Eggs recipe is a holiday staple—not just for Easter. It’s my ultimate comfort treat that shows up during every festive season, including the run-up to Christmas. I hope that’s not weird 😆😁.

They've got that nostalgic chocolate-peanut butter combo everyone loves, but with a homemade twist that makes them even better. Plus, you can dip and drizzle them in any chocolate you like—dark, white, milk—and decorate them to look just like colourful eggs.

100g brown sugar
50g granulated sugar

Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe 🥬🍴: https://www.cookitrealgood.com/roasted-brussels-sprouts/

Still recovering from the nightmare of being force-fed stinky and bitter boiled brussels sprouts as a child?  Never fear - these Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Bacon will turn even the most adamant brussels sprouts hater around.

Brussels sprouts really shine when oven roasted - crisp and caramelised on the outside and tender on the inside.  Not to mention how simple it is - throw everything on a tray in the oven for 25 minutes and voila!

Chicken Florentine

If you're craving a comforting, creamy dish, Chicken Florentine is the answer. Imagine golden-fried chicken smothered in a rich, garlic spinach cream sauce. The sauce is silky smooth, with just the right amount of tang from the Parmesan cheese and a burst of flavor from the fresh baby spinach.

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons olive oil

For the sauce:

3 tablespoons butter
1 large shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh baby spinach

Maybe it’s because of the cute color—my kids really love carrots. Especially when they’re roasted with potatoes, the kids go wild for it… well, their dad too, haha. But I’m worried they’ll get bored, so I try to look for different recipe variations where carrots are the main ingredient.

Mexican Chicken Salad Full Recipe 🌯🥗: https://www.cookitrealgood.com/mexican-chicken-salad/

OR comment with "MEXICAN" and I'll DM you the link! 🖐

I love Mexican food, so it's no surprise that one of my favourite salads is Mexican inspired.  This Mexican Chicken Salad is full of good-for-you ingredients and is filling enough to be a complete meal on its own.  The chicken is juicy and bursting with flavour.

It's on the table in 15 minutes.  Yes, you heard right - 15 minutes!  This does require a little multi-tasking, like chopping salad ingredients while waiting for the chicken breast to cook.  But totally doable.

Gigi Hadid Pasta 🫕🍴

Maybe this is the closest I’ll ever get to Gigi Hadid, hahaha. This Gigi Hadid Pasta is actually just a version of the classic Italian-American dish, penne alla vodka. But back during the Covid era, Gigi Hadid shared the recipe on her social media, and ever since then, everyone’s been calling it Gigi Hadid Pasta.

Plus, it's super simple to make with minimum prep time, so even if you're not a pro in the kitchen, you've got this.

Here's what you'll need to make this recipe:

8 ounces or 225 grams of pasta (like penne)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 small shallot, chopped (or red onion)
¼ cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons vodka (optional)
½ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon chilli flakes (or add red pepper flakes)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 tablespoon butter
A handful of fresh basil for garnish
