Spicy Sweet Theater Snacks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Chocolate-Drizzled Popcorn is Also Topped with Peppers and Bacon

— March 23, 2015 — Lifestyle
Given most movie theater snack combos involve a mix of popcorn and candy, it makes sense someone would combine the two into one with chocolate-drizzled popcorn. However, food blogger Jessica from How Sweet It Is didn't just stop at melting Lindt chocolate (specifically their Sweet Popcorn variety) on top of popcorn. This recipe is for Hot Pepper Bacon Popcorn with a Lindt Chocolate Drizzle. Going to the movies will never be the same.

Whether you try to sneak in your own treats at the theater or are hosting your own movie night, this chocolate-drizzled popcorn is an insanely awesome addition. The recipe calls for yummy ingredients like jalapenos, bacon, chocolate, corn kernels and unsalted butter. Even though Jessica used Lindt, you could use a classic milk chocolate bar or 85% dark chocolate.
