Tia's tip

​

This chilli sugar mix is nice but we also like our popcorn with honey or toffee sauce.

What do we do?

 

  • Put the chilli powder, cinnamon, salt and sugar into the small mixing bowl. Stir it well.

  • Put the oil and popcorn kernels in the saucepan and stir well. The popcorn kernels need to be well covered in oil.

  • Put the lid on and put it on a high heat.

  • The popcorn will start popping after a minute or so. 

  • Try to hold the lid on and shake the pan every 15 seconds. It will stop the popcorn at the bottom burning.

  • Once the popping slows down to 1-2 seconds take it off the heat and put it into the large mixing bowl.

  • Put the butter in the pan and let it melt. 

  • Pour the butter over the popcorn and stir well. 

  • Sprinkle the sugar mixture over and stir again.

  • Put the chocolate chips in the saucepan and stir until it is melted. 

  • Lay the popcorn out on a baking tray.

  • Drizzle the chocolate on the popcorn. 

  • Let the chocolate set, then eat and enjoy!
