Choc-Porn (Popcorn Chocolate Fridge Cake)

Choc-Porn is the snappy title my TA gals came up with to describe this temptatious treat!  A take on chocolate biscuit cake, with popcorn in a starring role, it is moreish, chewy and absolutely divine, if VERY naughty!   Quick as a flash to make, it disappeared quickly in a flurry of sticky licked fingers and murmurs of happiness.... oh, if life could be always like this!    It's already gluten free, and I've done it dairy free too.  It works well, although using a spread instead of butter means it doesn't set quite as well as butter.

Choc-Porn - Popcorn Chocolate Fridge Cake

5oz/125g chocolate

5oz/125g butter

3oz/75g sweet popcorn (without the unpopped kernels)

1 tbsp golden syrup

2oz/50g raisins

2oz/50g glacé cherries

2oz/50g toasted flaked almonds

4oz/110g white chocolate, melted

Use a square tin approx 8” x 10", and line the base with parchment.  Melt the chocolate, syrup and butter in the microwave, stirring occasionally.   Add the other ingredients, stir well, and tip it all into the tin.  Level it up, drizzle generously with white chocolate and chill for approximately two hours.  Cut into bars/squares. 

Be warned:  This does not last long!
