Valentine’s Day Chocolate Drizzled Popcorn
I don’t think I’ve ever tried a chocolate treat that I didn’t like! It’s just good on everything, whether it’s melted, shaved, or in whole chunks! But sometimes, I need a salty treat to balance out the sweetness, but why not combine the two? So here’s a simple yet super delicious chocolate drizzled popcorn recipe that is perfect for Valentine’s Day!
You can eat it at a Valentine’s Day get together with your single girls (like a Galentine’s Day party) or munch on it while watching a movie and cuddling with your significant other! Or maybe even put it in a pretty treat bag or box and place it in the paws of a cute teddy bear as a Valentine’s Day gift!
