Instructions
Preheat oven to 200F degrees.
Use a ir popper to prepare popcorn, popping into large mixing bowl. Remove any dud kernels. Line rimmed baking sheet with foil. Set aside.
In medium sauce pan, add instant coffee, cocoa and sugar replacement. Use whisk to combine these dry ingredients, thoroughly incorporating any cocoa clumps. Stir in milk. Bring mixture to boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
Turn heat down to medium and continue to boil until reaches 250 F degrees, or approximately 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add 1/8 teaspoon baking soda, mix in quickly. Mixture will quickly rise up in sauce pan and then eventually sink back down, so ensure that you are using a large enough sauce pan to prevent overflow.
Remove mocha mixture and pour half over popcorn in bowl. Stir. Drizzle remaining mocha mixture over popcorn and stir until most popcorn is coated.
Spread popcorn out on foil-lined baking sheet and bake in 200 F degree oven for 10 minutes.
After cooled, break up into pieces and enjoy. Save leftovers in air-tight container.
