Ingredients

Scale

Popcorn Mix

  • 6 cups popped popcorn
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup whole roasted, salted almonds
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut, divided

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 (10 ounce) bag white chocolate melting wafers
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate melting wafers

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the popped popcorn, ¾ cup of shredded sweetened coconut, mini marshmallows, and whole roasted salted almonds to create an even base for the chocolate coating.
  2. Melt White Chocolate: Following the package directions, melt the white chocolate melting wafers. Once melted, stir in 1 teaspoon of coconut extract to infuse a rich coconut flavor. Pour the white chocolate mixture evenly over the popcorn mix and gently toss to ensure all pieces are coated. Immediately sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of shredded coconut over the popcorn while the chocolate is still wet to add texture and flavor.
  3. Set Popcorn Mixture: Spread the coated popcorn mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking. Place the baking sheet into the refrigerator for 5 minutes to allow the white chocolate coating to quickly set and harden.
  4. Melt and Drizzle Dark Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate melting wafers according to package instructions. Drizzle the melted dark chocolate evenly over the set popcorn mixture. For added fun and visual appeal, you can add sprinkles immediately as the dark chocolate hardens quickly.
  5. Final Chill: Return the popcorn to the refrigerator for another 5 minutes to allow the dark chocolate drizzle to firm up completely. Once set, break the popcorn into chunks for serving. Store your Almond Joy Popcorn in a tightly sealed container or resealable bag to maintain freshness and crunch.

Notes

  • For the best taste and crunch, use fresh popcorn made with an air popper, microwave popcorn, or stovetop method using coconut oil.
  • Remove any unpopped kernels before adding the chocolate coating to avoid unwanted tooth-breaking bites.
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment or wax paper to keep the popcorn from sticking and ease clean-up.
  • Add sprinkles right after drizzling the dark chocolate because it hardens quickly.
  • For a fun twist, chop Almond Joy candy bars into small pieces and mix them into the popcorn along with the nuts before coating.
