Ten Minute Decadent Popcorn

Things have been 'busy' in the Red Door house this week. Too 'busy' to explain, yet not interesting enough to bore you all (or you three??) with the details. That said, 'busy' has never kept me out of the kitchen, and the intensity of said kitchen's productions may have been far less time consuming as of late, but were still quickly consumed by occupants, babysitters, and visitors alike.

I actually feel guilty calling this a "recipe,"as it is more of a "conglomeration." It was also an absolute favorite at the appetizer table. Salty & Sweet -- can you really go wrong with such a combination? Easily doubled, Easily altered -- my suggestions? Improvise! The butterscotch chips were a last minute decision (by The Husband) and took this from 'good' to 'great!'

Ten Minute Decadent Popcorn

10 cups air popped popcorn, cooled and buttered (or microwave buttered popcorn, popped and cooled)

three handfuls mini marshmallows

1 bag butterscotch chips

1 bag dark chocolate melting chips

Olive oil, as needed

1 cup pecans, halved

Spread waxed paper on two cookie sheets or jelly roll pans. 

Sprinkle popcorn on waxed paper, followed by marshmallows, pecans (& anything else you can think of)

Melt butterscotch chips in double boiler or slowly in microwave. Add olive oil as needed for 'drizzleability'

Drizzle melted butterscotch over popcorn.

Repeat with dark chocolate, attempting to drizzle chocolate in places the butterscotch missed.

Cool 1-2 hours or until chocolate has hardened.

Break into pieces and store in airtight container until ready to serve.

 Easy, right?
