That actually does not exist in Trader Joe's stores, but I think a little magic in the kitchen with a few Trader Joe's items may facilitiate this concoction  Let's give it a try with this recipe:

INGREDIENTS:

9 cups plain popcorn
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup cookie butter
¼ cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS:

1. Put the popcorn in a very large bowl.

2. In a microwave (at 50% power) or over a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips, cookie butter and butter until melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla.

3. Pour the chocolate mixture all over the popcorn. Using a large spoon, stir until all of the popcorn is evenly coated with the chocolate/cookie butter mixture.

4. Sift the powdered sugar over the chocolate-covered popcorn and stir until each piece is evenly coated. Spread the mixture out onto a baking sheet and place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.

5. Break it up and serve! Store leftovers in an airtight container.
