This is a delicious (and relatively simple) snack that perfectly combines sweet & salty. We made some of this over the holidays, and our little nephews kept going back for more & more.
You'll need some microwave popcorn, salted peanuts, marshmallows, and chocolate.
Start by microwaving some popcorn. The next step is possibly the most important: strain the popcorn in a colander with holes large enough to allow any unpopped kernels to fall through. We found this out out the hard way ... no pun intended. Otherwise these kernels will get stuck inside marshmallows & chocolate, and your unsuspecting molars will take a beating.
Once you have sifted out all the kernels, add the marshmallows and chocolate and stir everything together to melt. You need to do this relatively quickly while the popcorn is still hot, otherwise it won't melt them.
Finally, add in the peanuts, give it all a few more tosses to mix everything together, and that's it!
The popcorn is salty & buttery, and the peanuts add a nice crunch. Then you get the sweetness from the marshmallows, and the bitter-sweet taste of chocolate. I think we have made this 4 times now, so that should tell you we're quite fond of it. I nearly ate half the bowl while we were watching a DVD. I tried to stop myself, but my hand just kept going back for more & more.
