Chocolate-Almond Crunch Popcorn
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

  2. 2

    In a saucepan over medium-low heat, mix the sugar, corn syrup, butter, cocoa powder, and salt until smooth and starting to simmer.

  3. 3

    Place the popcorn in a very large bowl, toss with the almonds, and pour the chocolate syrup over the mixture.

  4. 4

    Stir until the popcorn and almonds are fully coated, then spread the chocolate popcorn in a single layer on several large baking sheets.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until completely dry, about 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes or so so all sides of the popped corn dry.

  6. 6

    Let cool on the sheet, then transfer to sealed containers.
