Make your own popcorn as a healhy snack for film night. Matt's favourite is chocolate and coffee, but experiement with other toppings such as sugar, salt, cinnamon or toffee sauce to find your own perfect combo.
Ingredients
- 150g/5½oz popcorn kernels
- 1 tsp instant coffee granules
- 1 tsp caster sugar (or any other type of fine sugar including icing sugar or soft light brown sugar)
- 1 tsp drinking chocolate powder
- 2 sprays of spray oil, or 1 tsp regular oil
Method
Pop the corn according to the packet instructions and put into a mixing bowl.
Put the coffee, sugar and chocolate powder into a blender and blitz until a fine powder. Alternatively grind in a pestle and mortar or place in a small food bag and crush using a rolling pin.
Spray the oil onto the popcorn and mix to coat lightly. Sprinkle with the coffee mixture.
Recipe tips
The coffee granules can be removed if preferred, and the other flavourings simply stirred together.
Buy the ready popped popcorn if that’s easier for you, but popping your own is much cheaper.
