Ingredients:
For the popcorn, you'll need:

For the chocolate sauce, you'll need:
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon corn syrup

Instructions:
First, make the popcorn. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the popcorn kernels and cover the pot with a lid. Shake the pot periodically to ensure the kernels are evenly distributed. Once the kernels have stopped popping, remove the pot from the heat and set aside.
Next, make the chocolate sauce. Melt the chocolate chips and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once the chips and butter have melted, stir in the corn syrup and vanilla extract. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Finally, combine the popcorn and chocolate sauce. Pour the chocolate sauce over the popcorn and stir until the popcorn is evenly coated. Spread the popcorn onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and let cool for 30 minutes. Once cooled, break into pieces and enjoy!
