1 teaspoon grated orange zest (from 1 orange)
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Guittard)

Instructions

Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish with coconut oil. Line the pan with one strip of parchment paper, overhanging the pan on each end, and set aside.
Place the popcorn in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, bring the maple syrup to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk in the almond butter and orange zest, stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat and pour the mixture over the popcorn. Using a rubber spatula, toss to coat well, breaking up the popcorn a bit in the process.
When cool to the touch, stir in the chocolate chips. Scrape into the prepared pan and smooth the top with the spatula. Refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour. Cut into bars and serve.
