1/2cupsemi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, grease, and set aside.
In a small saucepan, bring 1-inch of water to a simmer. Put the white chocolate in a large heat-resistant bowl. Place the bowl over the saucepan full of water, making sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl, and stir the white chocolate constantly until it is fully melted. Remove bowl from the heat. You can also melt the white chocolate in the microwave. Place in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir, and microwave again for 15 seconds, repeating until it's fully melted.
Add the popcorn and the broken pretzels to the white chocolate and toss until the white chocolate evenly coats the mixture.
Spread the popcorn mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and place in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened slightly.
In a small bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every thirty seconds. Once melted, transfer the melted chocolate into a small Ziplock bag.
Remove the popcorn mixture from the refrigerator. Snip a tiny corner off the Ziplock bag and drizzle the dark chocolate over the popcorn mixture. Place back into the refrigerator for about 20 minutes or until the chocolate is completely hardened.
Remove from refrigerator and break up the popcorn slightly. Toss in the candy corn and place in the serving bowl. Serve immediately.
Notes
It's best to make this the day-of serving so the popcorn doesn't get stale.
