SRC time again! This month I was assigned Life and Kitchen by Lindsay. I love that Lindsay posts so many veggie and meatless meals but after doing something savoury for the past few months of SRC I had already decided to do something sweet this month, and was delighted that she had so many to choose from!
The instant I saw these Snow White Popcorn Treats I was sold. It actually is winter here, but this is as close as my boys will get to snow!
We make popcorn a few times a week using our air popper. I like mine with a little melted butter and sea salt but the kids are totally happy having it plain. But let me tell you they were very excited about their special sticky popcorn!
The recipe called for 1 large or 2 small bags of popcorn but I have no idea what size that would actually be. I just did the usual 1/4 cup we always do and hoped for the best. It was pretty much spot on.
So how did it taste? Totally amazing as you would expect! I did find it VERY sweet though and added extra salt to mine (love that sweet and salty contrast). This would be perfect bagged up and given as gifts at Christmas and I will be doing just that this year.
Thanks for a great recipe Lindsay!
Snow White Popcorn Treats
From Life and Kitchen
1/4 cup popping corn
20 white marshmallows
2 tbs butter
1/4 cup white chocolate
sea salt
Pop the corn and spread it out on a lightly greased baking tray, making sure to remove any unpopped kernals.
In a medium pan over lowish heat gently melt the butter and the marshmallows, stirring constantly. Once they are completely melted and liquidy, add in the white chocolate and stir until smooth.
Quickly pour the mixture over the popcorn using a silicone spatula to toss it all together, coating as much of the popcorn as you can.
Sprinkle generously with sea salt and leave to set for about 10 minutes before devouring.
These look really yummy, kind of like a cross between Rice Krispy Treats and caramel corn! :) Yum!! :)
