Calories 145kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or coconut oil)
- 1/4 cup popcorn kernels
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup pecan halves
- 1 small bag dark chocolate Grabanzos (1.6 ounce bag)
- 1 small bag milk chocolate Grabanzos (1.6 ounce bag)
- 1/2 cup dried apricots, quartered (optional)
Instructions
- Pour the olive oil into a large pot, and place 2 to 3 individual popcorn kernels in the pot. Turn on the heat to medium, cover with a slightly ajar lid, and wait for those kernels to pop.
- When that happens, pour in the remainder of the popcorn, giving the pot a little shake to ensure all the popcorn is evenly coated. Cover the pot again with a slightly ajar lid. The rest of the popcorn kernels will start popping fairly quickly. Continue cooking until sound slows to a few seconds between pops, at which point remove from heat.
- Toss the popcorn with the salt in the pot, then pour into a large bowl and let cool for a few minutes.
- Mix in the pecans, Grabanzos, and dried apricots (if using). Enjoy!
