I’ve always loved kettle corn – popcorn with the perfect combination of salty and sweet!

Popcorn, after all, is a whole grain, and though it gets gets a bad rap at the movie theaters, homemade popcorn can be a light, healthy and delicious snack that satisfies those munchies.

This kettle corn is a great snack to offer when having company over and is even a fabulous gift to package in a nice gift box or tin.

Dark Chocolate Gingerbread Kettle Corn

Ingredients

1 tbsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp allspice
1 tbsp white sugar
1 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 cup popcorn kernels
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
*optional add-ons: dried cranberries, melted white chocolate, melted caramel chips, marshmallows, unsweetened shaved coconut

Instructions

    Mix together the cinnamon, salt, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice.
    Preheat the coconut oil in a medium-large saucepan with a top over medium heat. Once the oil melts add the sugar and stir until dissolved.
    Pour in popcorn kernels and cover, leaving lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape. Cook until the popping has nearly completed, shaking pot frequently to prevent kernels from burning.
    Spread the popcorn out on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle 1-2 tsp of the spice mixture over the popcorn.
    Melt chocolate in double boiler or heatproof bowl set over saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring often until smooth.
    Drizzle over the popcorn on the cookie sheet and sprinkle with cranberries. Place in a large bowl and serve.
