Prep: 15 min. + chilling

Yield: 16 Servings

Ingredients

12 cups butter-flavored microwave popcorn
1 package (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons shortening, divided
1 package (10 to 12 ounces) vanilla or white chips

Directions

Place the popcorn in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan; set aside. Melt chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon shortening; stir until smooth. Drizzle over popcorn.
Place vanilla chips and remaining shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, at 70% power for 1 minute; stir. Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
