We ate dinner in front of the film of Charlotte's Web. I prefer the book. Yet I love Templeton the rat in both book and film. Sylvia loved having popcorn for dessert. We couldn't eat it all. The leftovers were taken to a friend's place the next day. The two little girls gobbled it up after dips and vegies for lunch.
I found it had softened a bit the next day. I think I preferred our previous popcorn that we baked with the caramel sauce and then covered with chocolate. It stayed crispier. But the chocolate marshmallow coconut combination was definitely one I would do again.

Chocolate popcorn with marshmallows and coconut
1/4 cup popcorn kernels
80g dark chocolate, chopped
75g vegan marshmallows*
1/4 cup desiccated coconut
Cook popcorn. (I do this in a paper bag - twisted at the top - in the microwave for about 2 minutes or until the popcorn is not popping so frequently.) Make sure you sort out any unpopped kernels. Place popcorn in a large bowl.
Melt chocolate and pour over popcorn. Stir through to coat popcorn. Mix in marshmallows and coconut. Wait for chocolate to set before eating. I put ours in the fridge for about an hour and then left another 30-60 minutes for it to come to room temperature. We kept it overnight but it was better on the day we made it.
*NOTE: The vegan marshmallows we used are Dandies and were quite small. Bigger marshsmallows could be chopped up.

Ooh this looks good! I've never had chocolate and marshmallow popcorn before but it sounds like it would be delicious! I can't even watch/read Charlotte's Web b/c I get too upset at the end!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary Ellen - the chocolate and marshmallow popcorn makes it a bit easier at the end but it is a sad one
DeleteI saw this pop on to my dashboard earlier and was instantly drawn to it. Popcorn with marshmallow and coconut? Yes please!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate - it was really good - have a feeling you would enjoy it too
DeleteI'm always looking for new ways to enjoy popcorn, Johanna. I've never had chocolate & marshmallow popcorn before but I can tell you for sure, I will be trying it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Johanna...Pinning:)
Thanks Louise - it is a fun one and a healthier way to enjoy chocolate and marshmallow (even if I can't claim it is a health food)
DeleteWith so many of us staying in this weekend, I should have whipped up a popcorn recipe too! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorraine - it is an easy recipe to make on a wet and cold day
DeleteEating this with Charlotte's Web sounds like a lovely combination, even if I prefer the book too :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kari - I think the film is better if you have read the book and am glad we read it to sylvia first
DeleteYum! Sounds good. I cried when I read Charlotte's web as a child.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cakelaw it is a sad story
DeleteHoly crap that looks good! I'm drooling over here. I'm such a sucker for popcorn, it's one of my favourite snacks. I tend to just make it with coconut oil & sea salt though - I like this creative version.
ReplyDeleteI love Charlotte's Web. I haven't seen the movie yet, I'm curious to check it out though.
