CHOCOLATE TOFFEE POPCORN

I never developed any skill at the piano. Despite my failings, I persisted for eight ear-shattering years of lessons. Truth be told, I was in it for the snacks -- both of my piano teachers rewarded my terrible playing with treats. Those lessons instilled more than an appreciation of music: a lifelong love of chocolate and toffee popcorn.

Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 teaspoons vegetable oil
6 tablespoons popcorn kernels
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for the pans
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When it is hot, add the popcorn kernels and cover the pot. Once the popcorn starts to pop, reduce the heat to medium. Hold the lid on the pot and shake the pot until the popping stops. Transfer the popped popcorn to a large bowl and discard any unpopped kernels. Add the pecans.
  • Butter two large rimmed baking sheets. In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed pot with a candy thermometer attached, heat the butter, sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons water over medium heat, swirling the pot occasionally, until the butter has melted. Cook the mixture until the candy thermometer reads 300 degrees F. Then remove the pot from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla. Be careful; it will spatter a bit. Stir in the baking soda.
  • Carefully pour the mixture over the popcorn, and immediately stir the popcorn well to coat it in the warm toffee. Spread the coated popcorn out on the prepared baking sheets, and sprinkle with salt. Let the popcorn stand until it is completely cool.
  • Transfer the chocolate to a double boiler or large heat-proof bowl set over a pot of barely simmering water. Melt the chocolate, stirring it occasionally. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  • Carefully drop a few pieces of popcorn into the melted chocolate and flip it around with two forks. Lift the coated popcorn out, tap it against the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate, and transfer it to the parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with half of the remaining popcorn. Transfer the chocolate-dipped popcorn to the fridge until set, about 20 minutes. Extra chocolate can be cooled, wrapped in plastic, and used again.
  • When the chocolate popcorn has set, toss it with the plain toffee popcorn in a large bowl, and serve. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Number Of Ingredients 7

about a gallon of popped popcorn
1 1/4 c sugar
2 stick real butter
1/2 c corn syrup, light
1/4 tsp salt
1-2 tsp vanilla
5 drops of food coloring (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Mix together the sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt.
  • 2. Boil on medium heat until temperature on a candy thermometer reaches 300 degrees (hard crack).
  • 3. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and green food coloring.
  • 4. Pour the hot toffee over popped popcorn and mix well. After you have mixed it, break it up some and place it on a cookie sheet. Let it cool completely.
  • 5. Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave (COOK ONLY FOR 1 MINUTE OR YOU WILL COOK IT TOO LONG). Stir it until the chips are all smooth. Place it in a sandwich bag and snip a TINY hole in one corner. Drizzle it over the popcorn. Let it set for the chocolate to harden. Store in airtight continer.
  • 6. You can use milk chocolate also or a mixture of both is really good too.

Tips:

  • For a richer toffee flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can still make the toffee by cooking it until it reaches a deep amber color.
  • To make the popcorn extra crispy, spread it out in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake it in a preheated oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
  • For a more chocolatey flavor, use semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate chips.
  • If you want to make the popcorn ahead of time, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Chocolate toffee popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make this sweet and salty treat that is sure to be a hit with everyone.
