Dark Chocolate Popcorn
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    In a saucepan, bring the sugar, butter, cocoa powder, and corn syrup to a gentle boil; cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract. Put the popcorn in a large bowl, pour the cocoa mixture over it, and stir until the popcorn is evenly coated. Spread it evenly in the prepared baking dish.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is set, about 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature; break into clumps.
