Author Notes: It was so fun to get out the whirly pop and make some interesting popcorn recipes. I like to serve these little Popcorn Bites on small plates (with a napkin). You can either let the chocolate and caramel harden or serve them gooey. Good both ways. —coffeefoodwrite

Ingredients
-
1-14
ounces package caramels

More butter for buttering baking sheet

1/4
teaspoon sea salt for popcorn

more sea salt or fluer de sel for sprinkling on top
Directions
- Melt caramels, heavy cream and 1/8 tsp. sea salt over medium low heat.
- Melt dark chocolate over double boiler or bowl set over pan of simmering water.
- Place a sheet of wax or parchment paper on a baking sheet and butter it. Place popcorn on top in a thin layer.
- Drizzle popcorn with the melted butter and sprinkle with ¼ tsp. sea salt.
- Drizzle on melted chocolate and then drizzle on warm caramel. Sprinkle with more sea salt.
- Let cool slightly then remove to small individual plates, shaping small mounds on each and then let cool further. Can be enjoyed warm and gooey or cooled completely…
- Enjoy!
