INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil [could use olive oil if needed]

DIRECTIONS

#1] In a 4 quart saucepan, place 1 tablespoon of coconut oil + melt it over high heat. Place 1-2 kernels in while the oil is melting — when these kernels pop, you’ll know it’s ready to add the rest of the popcorn!

#3] Pour the popcorn into a large bowl that is covered with cooking spray. Remove any kernels that didn’t pop
#4] In your empty popcorn pan, add the maple syrup, honey, vanilla, + salt. Turn the heat to medium + warm the caramel sauce until everything has blended together
#5] Pour the caramel mixture over the popcorn in the bowl + stir to mix it all together
#6] Make the chocolate sauce by melting the coconut oil + then whisking the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, raw cacao powder, + vanilla in a saucepan
#7] Drizzle 1 cup of the blended chocolate sauce over the popcorn + mix in
#8] Allow the caramel corn to cool if needed for 5-10 minutes. Then, dig in!
