Bite-size clusters of popcorn and nuts coated in melted chocolate. Drop them onto wax paper, let them set, and pack them in bags for snacking or small gifts.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup freshly popped popcorn
  • 1 cup nuts

Directions

  • Melt the chocolate chips until smooth, using a microwave-safe bowl or a double boiler.
  • Add the popcorn and nuts and stir until coated.
  • Drop spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet or wax paper.
  • Let them sit until firm.
  • To help them set faster, chill in the freezer for about 5 minutes.
  • When firm, keep in plastic bags or another airtight container.
