¼ cup + 1 tbsp refined coconut oil refined coconut oil has no coconut smell or taste
½ cup popcorn kernels
1 tsp kosher salt
1 oz freeze dried strawberries separated
5 oz white chocolate melts

Heat ¼ cup coconut oil and 2 popcorn kernels (these are the test kernels) in a large stock pot over medium heat and cover the pot. Wait until you hear the kernels pop and then remove the pot from heat. Remove the popped popcorn from the pot and pour the rest of the ½ cup of kernels into the warm oil in the pot.
Return the pot to medium heat and cover. Listen for the popcorn to start popping. As it pops, use hot pads to grab the pot and shake gently. Keep listening for the pops and once you can count 2 seconds between pops remove the pot from heat.
Pour the salt into the popcorn and toss the popcorn with a wooden spoon. Pour popped popcorn onto a parchment lined baking sheet to cool.
Blend 0.5oz of freeze dried strawberries in a blender or small food processor until they are blended into a powder. Take the other 0.5oz of strawberries and chop into small pieces.
Melt white chocolate melts with 1 tbsp of coconut oil in a microwave or double boiler. Mix the powdered strawberries into the melted white chocolate. Drizzle over the popcorn. While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle the chopped freeze dried strawberries over the chocolate and popcorn
Allow to cool completely and chocolate to harden before serving.
