Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line three large baking sheets with parchment paper.

  6. Pour the colored chocolate over the popcorn in each bowl, mixing gently to coat.
  7. Spread the coated popcorn onto the prepared baking sheets and sprinkle with mix-ins.
  8. Bake for about 10 minutes to help set the chocolate, then let cool completely.
