Easter Eggstravaganza Popcorn

I’ve seen quite a few popcorn recipes popping up recently and thought I’d try and create my own recipe for Easter. The contrast between the crunchy corn, the soft marshmallows – or bunny tails, if you will – and chocolate eggs in this Easter Eggstravaganza Popcorn is fantastic and the colours really brighten up an otherwise dull snack.

I’ve never popped my own kernels before and I was so surprised at how easy and mess-free it is when using a microwave! This recipe is a great chance to be creative – you can use any Easter-themed candy you like as long as it’s small enough. I didn’t have mini-marshmallows, so I cut up regular marshmallows and they worked fine – possibly even better and the sticky sides helped hold the popcorn together.

Easter Eggstravaganza Popcorn

Ingredients

¼ cup popcorn kernels

100g white chocolate

Mini-marshmallows

Selection of mini eggs (I used Smarties Eggs, Mini Eggs, and Milky Bar Eggs)

Sprinkles

Recipe

1. Pop your popcorn kernels using your usual method. I used this easy method for popping them in the microwave.

2. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave. Remove the chocolate every 20 seconds and stir well – white chocolate burns really easily!

3. Combine the white chocolate and popcorn in a bowl. Mix really well so the popcorn is completely coated.

4. Pour in as many mini-marshmallows, mini eggs, and sprinkles as you like – you can never have too many!

5. Spread the popcorn onto a sheet of grease-proof or parchment paper and leave for about 20 minutes in the fridge to set.
