For a deeper chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder. Feel free to substitute other nuts, such as almonds or pecans, for the peanuts. If you don't have corn syrup, you can substitute with honey or maple syrup, but it may slightly alter the flavor and texture. Ensure the popcorn is completely cooled before storing to prevent it from becoming soggy. For a salty-sweet variation, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the popcorn before baking.
