Salty Caramel Popcorn Slice

: 15
: easy

Ingredients

Popcorn:

60gm MyOrganics popping corn – pop it and salt it allow to cool

Caramel:

1/2 honey or rice malt syrup

1/2 cup coconut oil (or less if you’re not keen on flavour)

Chocolate Drizzle:

150gms 85% dark choc

1tsp coconut oil

Other:

1/2 cup roasted hazelnuts chopped (you can use any nut but hazelnuts are bitter and help cut through the sweet caramel)

Method

  • Place greaseproof paper in loaf tin
  • Pop popcorn in pot as you usually would
  • Set aside to cool slightly
  • Place honey into saucepan & bring to boil
  • Continue to boil until starts to darken in colour (caramel – you don’t want it too dark as this will affect the flavour). Swish around (no spoons) during the process so it colours evenly
  • While honey is caramelising place chopped chocolate pieces into a bowl
  • Melt chocolate over warm water (make sure you don’t get the chocolate too hot – it will turn to stone)
  • Once honey is ready, add popped corn, roasted nuts & coconut oil into the saucepan
  • Mix gently until all ingredients are well coated with delicious caramel
  • Press into loaf tin (watch your fingers as it will be hot!)
  • Drizzle with melted chocolate
  • Give the loaf tin a few taps on the bench – get the chocolate into all the crevices!
  • Put it into the fridge and allow the chocolate to set before slicing.

Recipe tips: Add your favourite nuts, seeds or dried fruit for a different flavour.
