DSCN1501 Chocolate Craisin Popcorn

Ingredients

3 cups popped popcorn
1/2 cup dried craisins
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Begin by popping up your popcorn using your favorite method.
Place popcorn in a large bowl.
Toss in crasins and chocolate chips.

Notes

*If you make homemade popcorn, be sure to add enough salt - the sweet, salty combo is the best!

**Allow the popcorn to cool down just a bit before adding the chocolate chips - otherwise you'll have melted chocolate! Still tasty... but a bit more messy!
