1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups powdered sugar, divided

Instructions

Place 10-11 cups of popcorn in a large bowl and set aside. Remove unpopped kernels.

Pour mixture over popcorn, stirring until evenly coated.
Add 1 cup powdered sugar to a gallon bag and add half of the chocolate coated popcorn. Add ½ cup powdered sugar on top. Seal bag and shake until well coated. Spread out on a piece of waxed paper to cool. Repeat this process with the remaining popcorn.

Notes

Recipe Tips.

Instead of using microwave popcorn bags, you can use 1/3-1/2 cup of unpopped popcorn kernels, which will make 10-11 cups of popcorn.
Don't overheat the sauce: Use medium-low heat and stir frequently to prevent scorching the chocolate.
You can add festive sprinkles, M&Ms, or other candies.

Make ahead of time. You can make this recipe up to 3 days in advance. Just store it in an airtight container at room temperature.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also place the container in the fridge to help it stay fresh a little longer.
