Maple Salted Popcorn

By 22 Comments

Popcorn ready to pop
Nothing gets stuck in your teeth like popcorn. Every time I eat it I am optimistic about the forthcoming pearly white issues thinking, “No, it won’t be like last time. I’ll be extra cautious”, but yet I’m forever picking bits out of my teeth in the popcorn aftermath. This is never a good look. Why do we do it to ourselves? I know I’m not the only one. I can think of one very good reason: because it’s damn delicious, there’s nothing else like it and when you make your own you can truly make it your own.

Ingredients

You will need (for a big bowl for two):

  • 75g popping corn
  • 1-2 tbsp flavourless oil
  • 1 tsp nice sea salt
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup

Method

Get a large pan with a lid on a medium/high heat.

Drizzle on a little oil and swirl it around so it covers the base of the pan.

Put the popcorn into the pan and put the lid on (it helps if it’s a clear lid).

Keep the pan swirling around so that the popcorn doesn’t catch and wait for the corn to start popping.

Keep the pan moving until you can’t hear (or see) any more pops.

Remove the pan from the heat and take the lid off to let any steam escape. read more

Chocolate Covered Salted and Sweet Popcorn Bars - All That I'm Eating
I love popcorn. I don’t know what it is that makes it so addictive that you carry on eating it even though you know it’ll be stuck in your teeth for hours afterwards. I think popcorn is responsible for starting a lot of arguments; queuing at the cinema inevitably results in the question, “Salted or sweet popcorn”? and the ensuing debate afterwards discussing the merits of both flavours. 

If I had to choose it would be sweet. Fortunately I no longer have to make this decision as the ingenious people from Toasted have made the ultimate popcorn; sweet and salt. If ever there was a day to rival the invention of sliced bread it has to be this. Never again do we need to decide and end up wishing we’d had the other. This popcorn deserved to be treated to something a little special.

You will need:
300g milk chocolate (I used Milka with Daim)
A few large handfuls of popcorn (salted and sweet ideally)
100g white chocolate read more
