Cookies and Cream Popcorn ~ Chocolate Chip Cookie Popcorn

I have an entire board on Pinterest dedicated to popcorn; well, popcorn and chex mix.  I, like most things on pinterest, haven't tried most of them.  You can't go wrong with buttered popcorn, but I have an air popper, so I don't use microwave popcorn very often. Air popped popcorn drizzled with real butter, just isn't the same as the buttery microwave packs.  Normally I make caramel corn, but I am always looking up ways to flavor my popcorn and expand my horizons. Well, we had an activity at out church the other day and one of the ladies put together a popcorn bar. She made 7 or 8 different kinds of popcorn. Holy moly, they were all delicious. My favorite was the cookies and cream popcorn. I remembered I had a recipe for the cookies and cream popcorn pinned to pinterest and decided I needed to try and make it myself. It was just that good. While I was looking that up I also discovered I had a chocolate chip cookie popcorn pinned too.   They were both really simple and used almond bark so I figured I'd pop up a big bowl of popcorn and mix Oreos into half of it and chocolate chip cookies in the other half. I'm very glad I made a ton of it (like 8 cups of popcorn or so), because both flavors are delicious and it might last me a couple days.
