Put away the greasy butter and added salt and try this heart-healthy spin on popcorn!

Servings: 4-6

Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 5 minute | Total time: 15 minutes

*Recipe derived from Marla Meredith Enterprise, LLC.

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup coconut oil or sunflower oil
1/3 cup popcorn kernels
3 droppers full vanilla drops
1 cup unsweetened toasted coconut flakes
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

Toasted Coconut:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit with the rack in the middle.

Lay coconut flakes on a sheet pan in a single layer.

Bake for 10 minutes until coconut is light brown.

Toss with a pair of tongs after 5 minutes of baking.
Popcorn:

Heat oil and popcorn in a large, deep metal pot over high heat.

Have the pot lid and a large bowl handy.

The oil will sizzle and the popcorn kernels will start to pop.

When the popcorn is about to overflow, dump popcorn into bowl.

When popcorn is hot, toss quickly with the vanilla drops, coconut flakes and dark chocolate chips.
