Chocolate Cake Popcorn

Hi folks.

Fun with Jars Friday is back!

With a vengeance!

Of the sweet variety!

Sweet vengeance!

Is there any other kind!?

So I made this. Then realized it was Friday. So I quickly threw it in a jar. Cuz I am nothing if not uber prepared and organized. And we're off. To this week's Fun with Jars Friday!

Yup!

You are not seeing things!

Do not adjust your screens!

I got a little girls gone wild in the kitchen!

But in a good girl kind of way!

Cuz that's how I roll!

So I have been on a popcorn craze the last couple of days. I have about 3 more recipes for you over the next week using popcorn. I tend to get a bit ocd about stuff.

Like....

You know...

Turtles for example! I made Turtle Bark, Turtle Ice Cream, Turtle Banana Split. I even have some Turtle Popcorn coming at ya tomorrow.

But first there is this one.

Cuz it rocks,

Your socks,

Right off!

You're welcome!

The inspiration for this one started with a popcorn I was whipping up that went awry. I have tweaked it and it will go up on the blog soon. In the process I got mad and decided to google that popcorn. I found what I was doing wrong and then followed a link to another popcorn that blew my mind. Cookies and Cups did a Red Velvet Version that is absolutely amazing. So then I thought okay I can do that one. But then I thought well she just did that one so that's not cool, maybe I can adapt it a bit. So this is what I came up with. I just happened to have some chocolate cake lying around. And let's just say you know you're a foodie when you can say things like "I just happened to have some chocolate cake lying around". So I tweaked the ingredients a wee bit and this is the result.

Yummy...

Chocolatey...

Cakey.....

Popcorn!

*sigh*

Chocolate Cake Popcorn:

Source: Cookies and Cups

Ingredients:

4 cups popped popcorn

1 and 1/2 cups crushed cooked chocolate cake

3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate squares

Directions:

Pop your popcorn and place it in a bowl that has some extra room in it.

Now in a double boiler, melt your chocolate.

Pour the chocolate over the popcorn and then toss it with a spoon to coat it really well.

Now sprinkle the chocolate cake crumbs over top and stir again.

Now pour it out onto a cookie sheet and separate it as best you can.

Let it dry out.

Thank you to Shelly from Cookies and Cups for the inspiration. I only changed out the type of cake and the type of chocolate. I think the possibilities for this one would be endless. So go crazy girls. But in a good girl way. Cuz that's how we roll up here in the asylum!

Stay tuned for another popcorn recipe coming your way soon. I have a new obsession. Goodness help me, I need to pull out the stretchy pants this week. This is not going to end well.

Oh and a little bit of blog happenings. The Wild Rice Pizza I made caught the attention of Jennifer who cooks for SheKnows. She has made my recipe and has given me a shout out on the site. I was pretty stoked. Feel free to stop by there and say hello. You can find Jennifer's version on the SheKnows site.
