Quick Chocolate Popcorn with Condensed Milk Drizzle (Pipoca de Chocolate)
Quick Chocolate Popcorn with Condensed Milk Drizzle combines microwave-popped popcorn coated in a glossy chocolate syrup made from sugar, corn syrup, cocoa powder, butter, and vanilla. Baking soda prevents the popcorn from becoming overly candied. The finished popcorn is spread out and cooled before drizzling with sweetened condensed milk and optionally decorated with milk chocolate M&M's for added color and flavor.

Ingredients
- 3 bags microwave popcorn (1.12 ounce bags) or about 9 cups of popped popcorn
- ½ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup light corn syrup
- ½ tick butter or 4 Tablespoons
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pinch salt
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda to prevent popcorn from becoming candied
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 2 - 4 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk to drizzle
- M&M's as much as you want, to decorate, milk chocolate ones used
Instructions
- First, microwave the popcorn bags -- one at a time -- following the instructions on the package. Then, open the bags, place popcorn on a large baking sheet, and remove and throw away all unpoppedkernels of corn. Set popped kernels aside to be folded in the chocolate mixture.
- Over medium heat, using a medium non-stick pot, combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, cocoa powder, and salt, stirring until it starts to boil. Let boil for about 1 to 2 minutes without stirring. Mix in baking soda and vanilla, stirring until thoroughly combined. Turn off the heat and let mixture cool for about 30 seconds before folding popcorn in (in order to prevent popcorn from becoming soggy).
- Add the popcorn, folding it in the mixture until popcorn is very well coated. Spread chocolate popcorn onto a greased foil-lined sheet pan, separating the popped kernels from one another, and let cool enough to handle. Transfer chocolate popcorn to a container, drizzle sweetened condensed milk on top just immediately prior to serving, and decorate with M&M's. Enjoy!

Notes
- Store the chocolate popcorn at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 hours without the condensed milk drizzle for best texture.
- Adding the condensed milk drizzle just before serving helps maintain the crunch and prevents sogginess.
