Amy's Kitchen: Chocolate-New Year Chocolate Popcorn

Chocolate-New Year Chocolate Popcorn

Peanut butter and jelly. Currier and Ives. Lennon and McCartney. Bill and Hillary. Some things just seem to go together. This chocolate recipe combines two of my favorites: popcorn and chocolate.

As we enter 2009, the parties and festivities will be in full swing. As you may know, Chocolate is a well known stimulant. Chocolate contains small amounts of caffeine and theobromine. In small doses, caffeine has positive benefits. It increases vigilance, and stalls the symptoms of tiredness. This chocolate popcorn recipe will be a hit with your numerous family and friends, but it also will help you to stay awake while you endlessly entertain. I have found this wonderful chocolate popcorn recipe in a book published in 2007. The book is authored by Camilla V. Saulsbury and is titled, "Enlightened Chocolate". It has great information and wonderful recipes. I hope you enjoy this chocolate popcorn recipe.
