Girl, let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight snack that’ll have you falling in love at first bite! I’m talking about my Loaded Sweet and Salty Popcorn Bark – it’s literally what dreams are made of when those late-night munchies hit!
Picture this: perfectly popped popcorn drizzled with dark and white chocolate, sprinkled with crushed pretzels, potato chips, and a handful of M&Ms. Yes, honey, we’re combining ALL the good stuff! This is the kind of snack that’ll have you sneaking to the kitchen at 2 AM, and I’m not even sorry about it! 😉
What You’ll Need:
– 8 cups freshly popped popcorn (skip the butter!)
– 1 cup dark chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
– 1 cup crushed pretzels
– 1 cup crushed potato chips
– 1/2 cup M&Ms
– A pinch of sea salt
Let’s Get Cooking:
1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (trust me, you’ll thank me later for this cleanup hack)
2. Spread your popped popcorn evenly on the sheet, picking out any unpopped kernels (nobody wants a dental emergency at midnight!)
3. Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each
4. Here’s where the magic happens – drizzle that melted chocolate all over your popcorn like you’re Jackson Pollock creating a masterpiece
5. Repeat the melting process with the white chocolate

Now, sprinkle your crushed pretzels, potato chips, and M&Ms over the chocolate drizzle. Add that pinch of sea salt because, let’s be real, sweet and salty is a match made in heaven!
Pop that baby in the fridge for about 20 minutes until the chocolate sets. Once it’s ready, break it into chunks and try not to eat it all in one sitting (but also, no judgment if you do – we’ve all been there!).
