Directions
Lin a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside for now. In a large bowl, combine the popcorn, chocolate eggs, coconut, and almonds, then give everything a good toss so it’s evenly mixed. Next, put the white chocolate chips into a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate is smooth and melted—this usually takes about 2 minutes. Stir in the butter and almond extract until everything is fully combined and glossy. Pour this melted chocolate over the popcorn mixture and gently toss until every bit is coated. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and stir it through, then spread the whole mixture out on your prepared baking sheet. Let it cool completely so the chocolate hardens before digging in.
