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.

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.
ST. PATRICK'S DAY TOFFEE POPCORN W/WHITE CHOCOLATE
Toffee is a yummy snack. It's buttery, nutty flavor just melts in your mouth. Drizzling sweet and smooth white chocolate over it, brings this toffee to a new level. We love the festiveness the green food coloring brings to this delicious treat. You could customize the colors based on different holidays, a favorite color, school...

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:
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven to pop the popcorn. This will give the popcorn plenty of room to expand and prevent it from burning.
- Don't overcrowd the pot with popcorn kernels. A good rule of thumb is to use 1/3 cup of kernels for every 4 cups of popped popcorn.
- Use high heat to pop the popcorn. This will help the kernels pop quickly and evenly.
- Shake the pot or Dutch oven frequently while the popcorn is popping. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the popcorn from burning.
- Once the popcorn has finished popping, remove it from the heat and pour it into a large bowl.
- While the popcorn is still hot, drizzle it with melted butter and sprinkle it with salt. This will help the popcorn to stay crispy and flavorful.
- To make the toffee sauce, combine the brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened and turned a golden brown color.
- Pour the toffee sauce over the popcorn and stir to coat. Spread the popcorn out on a baking sheet and let it cool completely.
- Once the popcorn has cooled, break it into pieces and store it in an airtight container. The popcorn will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.
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 create a sweet and salty treat that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a tasty snack, give chocolate toffee popcorn a try!
