Ladies and gents, let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight/work snack that’s been keeping me sane during those late-night cravings and busy workdays. Trust me, once you try this Sweet & Salty Chocolate-Drizzled Popcorn Clusters, you’ll be wondering where this recipe has been all your life!
Let’s be real – we’ve all been there, mindlessly munching on boring snacks while working or binge-watching our favorite shows. But honey, it’s time to level up your snack game! 💅
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 8 cups popped popcorn (fresh is best, darling!)
– 1 cup mixed nuts (I use almonds and pecans because I’m fancy like that)
– 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 teaspoon sea salt
– Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (trust me on this one)
Now, let mama guide you through this heavenly creation:
1. Pop your popcorn and remove any unpopped kernels (nobody wants a surprise trip to the dentist!)
2. In a large bowl, mix your popcorn with nuts
3. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals (patience is key, we don’t want burned chocolate drama)
4. Drizzle honey over your popcorn mixture
5. Pour melted chocolate in a zigzag pattern (make it rain, honey!)
6. Sprinkle sea salt and cinnamon
7. Toss everything together
8. Spread on parchment paper and let it cool for 15 minutes
