Dress up plain popcorn with a little bit of sugar and cocoa with a hint of nutmeg, and then add chocolate chips and some salt. Then take it next level by throwing in some chopped peanuts too! Warning: This popcorn is highly addictive.
Ingredients
Plain popped popcorn
Salted butter, melted
Chocolate chips
Chopped peanuts
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 tablespoons nutmeg
Directions
In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and nutmeg. Sift the cocoa into it so there aren't any lumps. Set aside.
Using a large bowl, toss the popcorn with some butter. You don't want too much, but you want it to be coated enough that some of the topping will stick. Sprinkle some of the chocolate topping over and continue to toss. When you serve, throw a handful of chocolate chips, and a handful of peanuts into the bowl and toss a bit.
Serve and enjoy!
Leftover popcorn topping can be put away in a jar with a lid for another day.
