We all love a cheeky snack don't we? Sometimes it doesn't have to be a naughty snack, but it can be a healthy one with a little something naughty added to it. I love chocolate, especially dark chocolate and I also love popcorn. Oh yes chocolate and popcorn two of my favourite treats yum yum.
To me popcorn isn't too bad, trust me there are worse things you can eat.... I could name plenty if you'd let me. Anyway... I am a sucker for salty popcorn goodness. It is seriously addicting. Instead of buying a packet of ready made popcorn I opted to make my own. It was a little more time consuming but we'll worth it and fun!

To make this all you need is...
* A large sauce pan and a lid for it.
* One TBS of cooking oil (you can use anything - except olive)
* A bag of kernels
* Some salt (optional)
* Chocolate of your choice - I used dark :-)
* Another pan, hot water, a heat proof bowl plus a wooden spoon (this will be your banmarie)
* A large baking tray
How to make it is easy.
In your pan, place your TBS of oil and add about 1/2 cup of the kernels (more if you desire). Make sure the kernels get a light coating of oil. Then pop on your lid.. Cook it on a medium heat.
You'll soon hear popping. Every now again pick the pan up, holding down the lid and give it a shake and replace back on the heat. The is no 'ready' time just until the is no more popping or the popcorn is busting out of the pan... You can always lift the lid to see.. but be careful.
Take off heat and leave for a few minutes. Then lift the lid and sprinkle on your salt. Replace the lid and shake. You can now eat it if you want but I'm covering mine in chocolate.
Melt your chocolate in a banmarie, whilst it's melting place your popcorn on a baking sheet as flat as possible. Once the chocolate has melted you can you use a fork to dribble on your chocolate. Once happy with the way it looks... Leave it to cool.
You're done..... now eat!!!!
