Candied Popcorn

This is an easy treat. My mom received as a neighbor one year for Christmas. It is easy and cheap. All you need is popcorn and candy melts. You can purchase candy melts at most craft and/or baking store. I always get mine from Michaels because it's close to my house.
1. You pop your popcorn. If you don't have an air popper, you can use the butterless microwave popcorn. It works too.
2. Melt your candy melts according to the instructions. I use about half a bag of candy melts to one batch of popcorn.
3. Pour the melted candy over your popcorn and gently stir until all the popcorn is coated. It is better to not add enough candy melt at first. You can always add more, but if you put in too much, your popcorn may get soggy and shrivel up. NOTE: I always pick out all the un-popped kernels before pouring on the candy. No one like to break a tooth when eating a snack.
4. Spread the popcorn out on wax paper to dry.
It doesn't take long to dry. Once it is dry, break it up and store in Ziploc bags. You can use any color of candy melts you want (they are all vanilla flavored). I have not tried the brown chocolate candy melts. If anyone tried it, let me know how it tastes. When I first had it, it was white and I thought for sure it was white chocolate. It was Yummy! For neighbor gifts, place it in plastic cellophane bags (I saw them at my dollar store - 12 for $1), tie with ribbon, and place a tag on it....something like "We hope you have a 'poppin' good [insert holiday]"

Here I made it for my cousin's non-farwell lunch. He's going to Italy. Good Luck J.
