Ingredients

  • A generous portion of simple air-popped popcorn, free of salt, totaling seven cups
  • Delicate mini eggs coated in colorful chocolate like those from Cadbury®, one cup worth
  • A cup of sweet, flaky coconut shavings
  • Half a cup of roughly chopped almonds
  • An entire 8-ounce package of luscious white chocolate chips, perhaps from Ghirardelli®
  • A tablespoon of unsalted butter to enhance the richness
  • A hint of almond extract, if desired, just a smidgen
  • A touch of salt, about a quarter teaspoon or to your liking

Step 1

Prepare your work surface by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper, then set it aside for later.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the popcorn, chocolate eggs, coconut, and almonds. Give everything a good toss to mix it all together in a delightful medley of flavors and textures.

Step 3

Next, take a small microwave-safe bowl and fill it with white chocolate chips. Pop it in the microwave and heat it up until the chocolate is silky smooth, making sure to give it a stir every 30 seconds or so. This process usually takes around 2 minutes. Once it's all melted and gooey, mix in the butter and almond extract until everything is beautifully blended.

Step 4

Now, drizzle the luscious melted chocolate concoction over the popcorn mixture and give it a gentle toss to ensure every piece gets coated in that indulgent goodness. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors, then transfer the mixture onto the waiting parchment-lined baking sheet. Adjust the salt levels to suit your taste buds.

Step 5

Allow the popcorn to cool and set, letting the chocolate harden into a delectable crunch before serving up this irresistible treat to enjoy.
