Zebra Popcorn...

My friend brought me over some of that yummy Zebra Popcorn that Sam's club carries every once in a while and we were hooked...

it's ridiculously expensive though and justifying it's superb yumminess for a dent in my wallet doesn't go over very well for me...

so I decided to make my own...

and  my friend told me that Studio 5 did a segment on it so I googled it and found a recipe...

and then I changed it a little bit...

cuz it's my thing to always change recipes...

So here goes!

Zebra Popcorn (Caramel corn with Dark and White Chocolate drizzles)

12 cups popped popcorn (2 1/2 bags of the microwave stuff)

1/2 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup Karo syrup

2 tsp. vanilla

1/2 tsp. baking soda

6-8 ounces dark chocolate

6-8 ounces white chocolate

Method:  

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  Spray 2 cookies sheets with pam and set aside.

Melt butter in microwave safe bowl for 1 minute.  Add brown sugar and karo and mix.  Microwave in 1 minute intervals until boiling, stirring frequently.  Without stirring, continue to cook for 3 minutes.  Stir in vanilla and baking soda.  Pour over popped corn and mix well to thoroughly coat the popcorn with caramel.  Spread out on the cookie sheets.  Bake both pans for 7 minutes, stir and rotate pans.  Repeat.  Cool in pans.  Melt the chocolate separately and drizzle over cooled popcorn.  When cooled break into pieces and enjoy!

I used those melting candy chips that you can buy at wal-mart in the party section where the wedding cake baking stuff is...and I just used regular chocolate because they didn't have dark.  It still taste really good.  Also, after the chocolate has melted I put it in a ziplock bag to make the drizzling easier.  I don't even want to know how many calories are in this...it is sooooo good!
