1/2 cup popcorn kernels
2 1/4 tbsp coconut oil

Steps

Heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a large covered pot over medium heat.
Add the popcorn kernels, cover the pot, and shake it often until the popping slows.

Melt the chocolate chips with the remaining coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring each time.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the popcorn and let it set for 5 minutes.
