Ingredients

For the Popcorn Layer

  • 50g popcorn plain or salted
  • 200g chocolate milk or dark (minimum 35% cocoa solids)
  • 50g unsalted butter room temperature
  • 40g mini marshmallows or large chopped marshmallows

For the Chocolate Layer

  • 100g chocolate milk or dark (minimum 35% cocoa solids)

Instructions

  • Line an 8 x 8-inch (20 x 20cm) square tin with parchment paper and set aside. Leave enough overhang to make it easier to remove the bars from the tin.
  • To a medium sized heat proof bowl, add the chocolate and butter then microwave at 30 second increments but be careful not to start cooking the chocolate. The chocolate should only be warm once melted and not piping hot. Once the chocolate and butter are melted, set the bowl aside to cool.
  • Into the cooled chocolate, add the popcorn and fold it into the chocolate. While folding it in, use your spatula to slightly break up the popcorn. Fold in the mini marshmallows and ensure you coat them well with the chocolate.
  • Tip the mixture into the baking tin and spread it out. Using a palette knife or the back of a spoon press the mixture tightly into the pan. Set aside.
  • Add the chocolate to a microwaveable bowl and melt at 30 second increments. Once the chocolate cools, spread a thin layer on top of the chocolate popcorn and place in the freezer or fridge to set. Once it has set, cut into squares and enjoy.
