01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

7 cups plain popped popcorn, unsalted 1 cup mini chocolate candy-coated eggs (such as Cadbury®) 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. In a big bowl, combine the popcorn, chocolate eggs, coconut, and almonds, giving everything a good mix. Next, put the white chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat them in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and melted—this should take about 2 minutes. Stir in the butter and almond extract until everything is well combined. Pour the melted chocolate over the popcorn mixture and toss it all together so every bit gets coated. Sprinkle in some salt, mix it again, and taste to see if you want to add a little more. Spread the popcorn mixture out on the prepared baking sheet and let it cool completely so the chocolate sets before digging in.
