Description

Enjoy the iconic Aussie treat in popcorn form! This Golden Gaytime popcorn combines buttery caramel, crunchy honeycomb, melted chocolate, and biscuit crumbs for a sweet, crunchy snack perfect for movie nights or parties.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup popcorn kernels

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter

  • 2 tbsp golden syrup (or corn syrup)

  • ¼ tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • ½ cup crushed honeycomb

  • 100g milk chocolate, melted

  • ¼ cup biscuit crumbs

  • Pinch of salt


Instructions

  • Pop the popcorn kernels in oil over medium heat; set aside in a large bowl.

  • Melt butter, brown sugar, golden syrup, and salt in a saucepan; simmer 4 minutes without stirring.

  • Remove from heat; whisk in vanilla and baking soda until foamy.

  • Pour caramel over popcorn; toss to coat. Bake at 120°C (250°F) for 45 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes.

  • Cool for 20 minutes, then break into chunks.

  • Drizzle melted chocolate over popcorn and sprinkle with biscuit crumbs. Let set or chill for 15 minutes.

Notes

Use golden syrup for the best caramel texture; substitute corn syrup if needed

Crushing biscuits finely helps them stick better to the chocolate.

Store popcorn in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
