Addicting and perfect for tailgating — triple chocolate popcorn with chocolate-covered almond footballs

This chocolate popcorn with chocolate-covered almond footballs is a great treat to share for game day. Not only is the chocolate popcorn completely addicting, but it’s also fun and festive!

I’m so excited to be partnering up with Kroger this year to bring you delicious recipes including this triple chocolate football popcorn! This post is brought to you in partnership with Kroger, as always, all opinions are my own.

Throughout this past year I’ve shared many reasons why my family and I are obsessed with Kroger stores. There is so much to love about Kroger, and my local Smith’s makes my life about a million times easier (have I told you about the parking spots they have for expecting moms? Game changer for me right now!)

And Kroger really makes it easy when it comes to comes to planning a party, or preparing an amazing spread of food for game season! And when I say an amazing spread, you really can create quite the table of snacks with very little work. We threw a small family party a couple of weeks ago and had quite the table of snacks put together in no time at all!

I love creating snacks for parties and family events, and with football season right around the corner, I wanted to make a fun football-themed treat. The result? A delicious concoction of popcorn, chocolate, and almonds. My family is obsessed with this treat, and lucky for us football season is just starting:)

If you’re like me you like serving a variety of snacks, and this chocolate popcorn treat pairs perfectly with other traditional snacks.

I really like how easy this popcorn is to prepare, which leaves me time to prep any other snacks I’m making at the same time. While there are a few more steps than you might be used to, it comes together easily and is well worth the effort!

Here are a few tips when making this easy chocolate popcorn:

Prep the ingredients before starting. I like to grab all the required ingredients and lay them out on my kitchen counter to make sure I have everything I need. This recipe moves fast in some parts, so if an ingredient isn’t immediately ready to go, the recipe may not turn out as good as it could have.
Use a really large bowl! You’ll toss the popcorn twice — first in the caramel-sugar mixture, and then again in the melted white chocolate. To make your life easy, grab a large bowl that can easily accommodate all the ingredients and allow you room to toss them without spilling. If you don’t have one really large bowl just separate the mixture into two bowls.
Melt the chocolate slowly and stir it often: To avoid burning your chocolate, don’t rush the melting process! I like putting the chocolate chips (with a small amount of oil) in a microwave safe bowl and microwaving the chocolate in bursts of time. Just remember: the chocolate is still melting when you take it out of the microwave, so make sure to give the chocolate time to melt as you stir.
