Chocolate coconut popcorn

Prep Time 1 minute
Cook Time 4 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 6 tbsps of coconut oil or olive oil
  • 1 cup of tiny by mighty kernels or other non-GMO popcorn kernels
  • 1/4 of good quality coconut oil melted
  • 1 tbsp of cacao powder
  • 2 tbsp of coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup of shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup of cacao nibs

Instructions

  • In a large dutch oven or heavy bottom pot, over medium heat, add the 6 tbsp of olive oil along with 2-3 popcorn kernels. Place the lid on the pot and wait.
  • When you hear the kernels pop, add the remaining 1 cup of kernels. Give the pot a good "shake" to ensure all kernels are coated with oil evenly and place the pot back over the burner
  • Allow kernels to cook/pop until the pot is about halfway full of popped popcorn (about a minute or two), then give another good "shake", and CAREFULLY remove the lid and allow the popcorn to continue cooking another minute or two.
  • You will know the popcorn is "done" when you only hear a few kernels left popping.
  • Remove from heat and pour the popped popcorn into a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, melt the remaining 1/4 cup of coconut oil.
  • In a small bowl combine and mix the cacao powder with the coconut sugar and a sprinkle of salt
  • Then slowly, drizzle half of the coconut oil over the popped popcorn along with a sprinkle of the cacao/sugar mix. Toss and repeat.
  • Then top with a final sprinkle of the cacao/sugar mix, the shredded coconut, and cacao nibs.
  • Serve and enjoy
