Dark Chocolate Popcorn Bombs

These dark chocolate popcorn bombs are out of this world delicious.  With only 3 ingredients, no added sugar you have a chocolate treat that takes no time at all to make.

I was actually going to call these skinny dark chocolate popcorn bombs because I used a stevia sweetened dark chocolate for the recipe but, they taste so decadent, I left the skinny out.

For a simple and delectable treat that it totally guilt free and made the healthier way, you must try these dark chocolate popcorn bombs. It’s the perfect balance of creamy rich dark chocolate, crunchy popcorn, with a small amount of chopped peanuts (You can always leave out the peanuts if you want) and a hint of salt. Yup, they really are a perfect treat anytime. For my Weight Watchers pals, I gave you nutritonal count with and without the peanuts and WW Smart Points and WW Points Plus.

How are these dark chocolate popcorn bombs prepared

Directions are very simple 

 

  1. Using a double boiler, (This is the greatest for melting chocolate) melt about 6 ounces chocolate until melted. (You can microwave the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl if you choose, just continue to follow the same directions)
  2. Take off heat and add in the remaining 3 ounces of chocolate chips.
  3. Stir until glossy and smooth. This will temper the chocolate. 
  4. Crunch up popcorn if very large pieces, toss into chocolate mixture along with peanuts.
  5. Scoop out desired amount and lay out on rimmed and lined, (I use the pre-cut parchment paper sheetscookie sheet. I used a small cookie scoop and got 15 nice size clusters.
  6. Place in freezer for 15 minutes or in fridge for about 35 to 40 minutes.
  7. Note: Can be left on counter for the first day only. Best if stored covered in fridge up to 3 days. Let sit out on counter to soften up just a bit before biting into these delectable dark chocolate bombs.
