Chocolate Popcorn:
Chocolate popcorn is a snack covered in a thin layer of sugar or molasses-based chocolate syrup. It is a solution or syrup that is typically prepared and heated until it browns and thickens, resulting in a caramelised chocolatey syrup.
Ingredients:
The serving is up to 10 people.
- unpopped kernels removed
- butter
- Chocolate chips
- syrup
- vanilla extract
- salt
baking soda
Method of chocolate Popcorn
- Preheat your oven to 200 degrees.
Over medium heat, melt your butter in a large pot or skillet.
Once the butter is melting, add Chocolate syrup, chocolate chips and salt, stirring frequently until everything is dissolved and blended. - As soon as the mixture begins to boil set your timer for two minutes exactly and stir until your timer goes off.
- After the timer goes off, remove the mixture from heat immediately and stir in the baking soda and vanilla.
- At this point, your mixture will turn a light brown colour and expand. Keep stirring until the colour is uniform and the texture is smooth for a few more minutes.
- Pour the sticky, thick sauce all over in your large bowl, and turn gently while moving quickly, until all of your popcorn is fully coated.
- Once each kernel is coated in sauce, pour it from your large bowl onto your prepared baking sheet and spread out popcorn as much as possible.
- Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, allowing the sauce to set and harden evenly. Stir it every 12 minutes, breaking up clumps as best you can, until done.
- Once your easy homemade chocolate popcorn is out of the oven, add nuts, pretzels, coarse sea salt or any additional ingredients if you are using them. These sweet and salty treats will stick to the kernels if the popcorn is hot. Allow dry popcorn to cool and continue to break up the pieces or clumps that remain stuck together.
