I have decided that I am going to blog about my adventures with making things that I have found on Pinterest!
I've made a few things already. Some have turned out, but some haven't so I thought that it would be fun to blog about the things that do and don't go well.
This time I tried making Snickers Popcorn for a Superbowl snack. Here is my pin. The final product was amazing, but I had A LOT of trouble making this recipe.
So, the recipe said to use 1 cup of kernels. I made the popcorn in the air-popper and placed it in a brown paper bag and mixed in the peanuts.
Next, was making the candy coating. I used a small sauce pan as my medium/large pan was dirty. Bad idea. When it started to boil, it boiled over... All over my glass top stove. very sticky mess. So, if you make this, use a large sauce pan.
So, I poured the candy coating over the popcorn and shook the bag. The recipe said to pour it out on a cookie sheet. Well, it needed to be on two if not three cookie sheets. It was a ton of pop-corn!!
Next I added the snickers and put it in the oven. However, the recipe didn't say what the oven should be pre-heated to. So I set it at 400 degrees; which I think was too high. I would set it at 350 degrees.
In the mean time, I melted the chocolate chips. I took the cookie sheets out of the oven and tried to drizzle the chocolate. It didn't drizzle... it clumped. I tried to spread it around with a fork... which was unsuccessful.
Opie helped my put it in bowls as it was pretty difficult to get off the cookie sheets since the candy coating had hardened.
Here is my finished product:
Even with all the trouble I had with it, it was amazing! I would recommend making it, but use a large sauce pan and maybe only a half a cup or 3/4 cup of pop-corn!
