Prep Time:
20 mins
Cook Time:
10 mins
Ingredients:
• 1/3 cup (75g) unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp popping corn
• 70g milk chocolate, chopped
• 50g vanilla marshmallows
• 1/4 cup moist coconut flakes, toasted
• 180g dark chocolate, chopped
You will also need:
• 16 x 15cm-long lollipop sticks for this recipe
Method:
Melt 25g butter in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Add popcorn. Cover. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, shaking pan frequently, until popcorn has popped. Transfer to a large bowl. Cool completely. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place milk chocolate and remaining butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes or until smooth. Add marshmallows. Stir for 2 minutes or until smooth. Add coconut and chocolate mixture to popcorn. Stir to coat. Using damp hands and working quickly, shape 2 tablespoons of mixture around the top of each lollipop stick, pressing firmly to hold. Place on prepared tray. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until firm. Place dark chocolate in a heatproof, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until smooth, stirring with a metal spoon halfway through cooking. Working quickly, dip popcorn, one at a time, into chocolate to coat. Gently tap stick on the side of the bowl to drain excess chocolate. Return to tray. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until set and serve.
