WHITE CHOCOLATE POPCORN

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. (Watch it closely if you use the microwave).
• Microwave 2 bags of popcorn or pop about 7 oz. popcorn kernels.
• In a large tub, (or 2 large bowls) drizzle melted white chocolate over popcorn. Mix and fluff as you go. Your looking for a light coat of chocolate on the popcorn -- too much will make the popcorn soggy and spongy.
• Let popcorn cool in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens. This is a great time to scoop servings of the popcorn into large ziplock baggys for easy storage.
• **Try bringing this to the party/couch/campout/slumberparty and letting your guest discover that it's not ordinary popcorn on their own ;) It's the greatest 1/2 a sec. in your life before you figure out what's goin' on.
