Rocky Road Popcorn


I am one of those annoying people that put minstrels in my bag of salty popcorn- call me indecisive but I just can’t live with having to decide between salty and sweet. I love marshmallows, so this decadent cinema treat seemed like the natural next step towards my mission to develop type 2 diabetes.

As a tip though, if you’re using a popcorn maker like me, remember to separate the popped corn from the kernels or they stick to the chocolate like sh*t to a blanket, as my mother would say.



Ingredients
Large bowl of popped corn
100g milk chocolate
100g white chocolate
About 150g marshmallows
¾ biscuits broken into pieces


Firstly make the popcorn. If anyone’s wondering if a popcorn maker is worth the money, they really are because they’re so easy to use and there’s no washing up involved.



Break the milk chocolate into pieces and place into a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of very gently simmering water. Stir until completely melted, making sure the water doesn’t get too hot.



Pour the milk chocolate all over the popcorn and mix it around to coat everything.



Line a small tin/baking tray with foil and turn out the chocolatley popcorn.

Add about three quarters of the marshmallows and broken biscuits and mix into the popcorn. Use your spatula to press the mixture down into the pan. Scatter the remaining marshmallows over the top. 



Melt the white chocolate in the same way as before and then pour all over the popcorn. Leave it to cool for ten minutes before transferring to the fridge for at least an hour to harden.




Cut into squares, which can be a bit tricky, or just eat straight from the pan if you’re feeling particularly fatty.
