Choc-O-Pop Chocolate Popcorn at a Glance
There was a cinema in Seattle where Dave and I grew up that made chocolate popcorn we've never been able to forget. It was incredibly rich, perfectly dusted, and just the right amount of sweet.
When we started building out our flavor lineup, recreating that chocolate glaze was never a question. It had to be done. The result is our Choc-O-Pop Powder. Paired with your Popper, it makes chocolate popcorn that tastes like stepping back in time.
Just follow these steps:
Chocolate Popcorn Ingredients
-
½ cup popcorn kernels
-
2 tablespoons coconut oil
-
2-3 tablespoons Choc-O-Pop Powder (start with 2 and add more to taste)
Chocolate Popcorn Directions
Step 1: Preheat
Set your burner to medium heat and allow your Popper to preheat for 1-2 minutes.
Step 2: Add Oil and Kernels
Add the coconut oil and let it melt completely. Then once it's liquid, pour the kernels.
Step 3: Add Choc-o-Pop Powder
Once you hear the first kernel pop, pour in the Choc-O-Pop powder, place the lid on Popper, and start turning the crank clockwise.
PRO TIP: If you feel resistance at any point while cranking, a kernel has likely gotten caught behind the spinner. Just remove the lid, reset it, or give the pot a gentle shake to loosen up.
Step 4: Pop
Keep cranking steadily as the kernels pop. The Popper’s stirring mechanism does the heavy lifting here. It keeps the sugar in the powder from settling on the bottom and burning, which gives the popcorn an even coat and prevents it from going to waste.
GOOD TO KNOW: The Popsmith’s multi-clad metal bottom distributes heat evenly across the surface, which is especially important when you're working with a powder that can scorch. It's one of the reasons chocolate popcorn turns out so well in the Popper versus other methods.
Step 5: Remove
When popping slows to 1-2 seconds between pops, immediately remove the Popsmith from the burner and pour the chocolate popcorn into a huge bowl.
Step 6: Enjoy
Pair your chocolate popcorn with a good movie and enjoy while it’s still warm!

Cinema-Worthy, Couch-Ready
That rich chocolate coating. The way it melts on your tongue. The fact that you can taste every layer — cocoa, sugar, the perfect amount of salt from the popcorn underneath. This is the chocolate covered popcorn you've been missing.
Eat it straight from the bowl on movie night, or dress it up with pretzels, candy, and whatever else you've got for a backyard party. The Choc-O-Pop Powder handles the flavor, while your Popper takes care of the rest.
