3bagsmicrowave popcorn(1.12 ounce bags) or about 9 cups of popped popcorn
½cupsugar
⅓cuplight corn syrup
½stickbutteror 4 Tablespoons
4tablespoonsunsweetened cocoa
1pinchsalt
⅛teaspoonbaking sodato prevent popcorn from becoming candied
1teaspoonpure vanilla extract
2 - 4tablespoonssweetened condensed milk to drizzle

Instructions
First, microwave the popcorn bags -- one at a time -- following the instructions on the package. Then, open the bags, place popcorn on a large baking sheet, and remove and throw away all unpoppedkernels of corn. Set popped kernels aside to be folded in the chocolate mixture.
Over medium heat, using a medium non-stick pot, combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, cocoa powder, and salt, stirring until it starts to boil. Let boil for about 1 to 2 minutes without stirring. Mix in baking soda and vanilla, stirring until thoroughly combined. Turn off the heat and let mixture cool for about 30 seconds before folding popcorn in (in order to prevent popcorn from becoming soggy).
Add the popcorn, folding it in the mixture until popcorn is very well coated. Spread chocolate popcorn onto a greased foil-lined sheet pan, separating the popped kernels from one another, and let cool enough to handle. Transfer chocolate popcorn to a container, drizzle sweetened condensed milk on top just immediately prior to serving, and decorate with M&M's. Enjoy!
