I love to make this popcorn, along with the caramel kind, and put it into large containers for both of my grandpas during the holidays.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 0.5 cups butter
- 0.25 cups cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 25 cups unsalted popped popcorn
- 3 cups roasted salted almonds
Instructions
-
1
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
-
2
Mix together the sugar, corn syrup, butter, cocoa powder, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat until the mixture is smooth and begins to simmer. Place the popcorn into a very large bowl, mix with the almonds, and then pour the chocolate syrup over the mixture. Stir until all the popcorn and almonds are coated. Spread the chocolate popcorn out onto several large baking sheets in a single layer.

Bake in the preheated oven until thoroughly dry, about 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes or so to dry all sides of the popped corn. Allow to cool on the sheet, then transfer into sealed containers.

Grandma's Soul Food Pancakes (with Plantains)
My grandmother is from Mississippi. I call these her 'soul food' pancakes because she grew up at a time when people who had very little made simple meals taste super delicious. Every Sunday before church, she made these pancakes to get us out of bed. They have a crepe like texture but are still pancakes and are delicious.
