Directions
Lin a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside for now. In a big bowl, combine the popcorn, chocolate eggs, coconut, and almonds—give everything a good toss so it’s mixed well. Next, put the white chocolate chips into a small microwave-safe bowl and heat them in the microwave, stopping to stir every 30 seconds until smooth and melted, which should take about two minutes. Once melted, stir in the butter and almond extract until everything is nicely blended. Pour this chocolate mixture over the popcorn mix and toss until it’s all evenly coated. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and stir it through, then spread the whole mixture out onto your prepared baking sheet. Let it cool completely so it firms up before you dig in.
