Ingredients

1 tbsp sunflower oil
50g popcorn kernels
50g dark chocolate (50% cocoa solids)
50g milk chocolate
50g white chocolate

Equipment

Large pan with a lid
Large bowl
3 cereal bowls
3 baking sheets

Gift bags and ribbon

Making and cooking it

Always wash your hands before preparing food.

Place the oil in a large pan and heat until just smoking
Add the popcorn kernels and quickly cover with a lid
You will hear the kernels start to pop, shake the pan from time to time to stop the popcorn on the bottom from burning
When the popping has stopped, the popcorn is ready
Remove from heat and allow to cool before handling
Tip into a large bowl and remove any un-popped kernels
Divide equally into 3 bowls
Line 3 baking sheets with greaseproof paper
Meanwhile break the chocolate into 3 separate bowls
Melt one bowl of chocolate using a bain marie or microwave. If using a microwave cook for 10 seconds, stir and repeat until the chocolate is melted. Do not overdo it as chocolate can easily burn
Take the first bowl of popcorn and half dip into the melted chocolate, then place on the baking sheet. Or you can tip the popcorn into the melted chocolate and give it a good stir to coat the popcorn.
Repeat 9 & 10 with the other 2 types of chocolate
Allow to set (around 30 minutes)
Place a mixture of the 3 popcorns into gift bags and decorate with a ribbon - makes a fabulous edible Christmas gift
