Ingredients

  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 75 g popping corn
  • 50 g pretzels
  • 35 g mini marshmallows
  • 60 g raisins
  • 200 g milk chocolate

Instructions

  • Line a small baking tray or dish with grease-proof or baking paper.
  • Prepare the popcorn – you’ll need a saucepan with a tight fitting lid for this. On a medium heat, melt the coconut oil in the saucepan until it is liquid. Measure out the popping corn kernels, add to the pan and shake to coat in the oil.
  • Cover the pan and leave on the heat until the kernels begin to pop. Once they start popping, keep a sharp eye on them and shake the pan regularly to prevent the popped kernels from burning. 
  • Once the popping stops, remove the pan from the heat. Scoop the popped popcorn onto your prepared baking tray, taking care to remove all unpopped kernels as you do so as they can be a choking hazard.
  • Sprinkle the pretzels over the popcorn, spreading them out as evenly as possible. Repeat with the mini marshmallows and raisins, sprinkling them all over the popcorn too.
  • Break up the milk chocolate and place it in a microwave safe bowl. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring between each one to ensure it melts evenly. Be careful not to overheat or burn the chocolate, heat only until just melted and smooth.
  • Use a spoon to drizzle half of the chocolate all over the popcorn mixture, covering it as evenly as possible.
  • Place the tray of popcorn in the fridge to set for 15 minutes or so. Once hardened and set, break up the chocolate covered popcorn into smaller clumps and serve in bowls.

Notes

If taking this treat with you to snack on when you're out and about, store in an airtight container and decant into paper bags to serve.
This recipe is easy to customise - try using white chocolate or dark chocolate, or swapping the raisins for other dried fruit of your choice. 
Use dairy free dark chocolate to make this recipe dairy free.
