Notes
- You can also make your popcorn in an Air Fryer. Use this Air Fryer Popcorn recipe.
- You can also melt 1 Tablespoon each white and dark or milk chocolate chips, with ⅛ teaspoon oil in each. Or mix them. Use what you like.
- If making a larger amount, you can spread the popcorn out on a baking sheet, then drizzle chocolate over it. This will help distribute the chocolate evenly on the popcorn.
