Little Mermaid Birthday: Coral Pieces Popcorn

Two years ago Teagan requested a Little Mermaid birthday party.  We delivered and it turned out beautifully!  Over the years we have always had one special treat at all of the kid’s birthday parties and that special treat has become an adult favorite.  Chocolate covered popcorn!  YUM!  The best part about the chocolate covered popcorn is that it can totally be customized to any type of party.  The popcorn was the most talked about and asked about item on the food table.  People are always surprised when I tell them how to make their own.

Make sure you check out the fun Little Mermaid birthday party we had to get some great ideas for mermaid loving kiddo.  Now, a few of you have asked what this special recipe for chocolate covered popcorn is and while I would love to tell you that it is some secret family recipe, I can’t!  This recipe is so easy and should be added to every party because it will be a crowd pleaser and you won’t be spending hours preparing it.  For the Little Mermaid Party we dubbed the popcorn and coral pieces.  So cute right?  But again, keep in mind you can use this recipe for any kind of theme or colors.
