Candy Popcorn Pizza
Mother’s Day Treat
What
could be better than popcorn and candy coated in melted marshmallows on a
chocolate crust?
While on vacation in South
Carolina we went into a candy shop where we saw the commercial version of the popcorn
pizza for the first time and I knew that our granddaughters would love making
and giving this unique food craft.
To make your pizza you start
with a spring form pan - we used to small pans.
Ingredients:
1 bag about 1 ½ cups of
your favourite candy to mix with the popcorn
2 bags of chocolate chips
or candy making chocolate - enough to cover the bottom of your pan ¼ inch thick
and then to drizzle or spread on the top of your pizza
1 bag of light microwave
popcorn
4 cups of marshmallows
Cake sprinkles
Writing tube icing sugar
Directions:
Step #1 (children) trace the bottom of the pan onto parchment paper and cut
out the circle using safety scissors and set aside.
Step #2 (children) give each child a piece of wax paper with coconut oil on
it and have them grease the pan and place the parchment paper in the bottom
Step #3 (adult) microwave the popcorn
Step #4 (children) have the children pick out only fully popped popcorn and
put these in a large mixing bowl
Step #5 (adult) melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler and once melted
depending of the age of your children either you or they can spread some of the
chocolate on the bottom of your spring form pan
Step #6 (adult) grease a glass microwave dish and melt the marshmallows
Step #7 (adult & children) put the candy into the bowl with the
popcorn and while the adult pours the melted marshmallows into the bowl the
children can stir the mixture coating the popcorn and candy with marshmallow.
Step #8 (child) Grease fingers and press the candy and popcorn into the
spring pan pressing the popcorn firmly down.
Step #9 (adult) drizzle or
spread the rest of the melted chocolate on top of the pizza
Step #10 (child) sprinkle the
cake candy onto of the cooling chocolate
Step #11 (child) using the
icing sugar writing tube write their message or draw a picture to Mom.
Place the still warm pizza in
the refrigerator and once cold remove the pan and place the pizza on a piece of
card board, wrap in clear plastic and you are done.
