My popcorn obsession continues.
This time I chocolate-glued the popcorn to a pile of candy. Wrong? So right.
Use whatever candy you love. I’m partial to goobers because my grandpa used to buy them at the movies, and to Sno-Caps — my go-to as a kid when dumped into a bag of hot popcorn. For this batch I added salty peanuts and a handful of rainbow sprinkles because, honestly, I can’t resist. Plain white nonpareils would never do.
This is the final movie-inspired snack I’m sharing to pair with Pavan Liqueur. Later this week I’ll be at the Nantucket Film Festival sharing cocktails and snacks, and I can’t wait. I paired this candy-and-chocolate bark with one of Pavan’s signature champagne-style cocktails: Pavan, prosecco and a lemon wedge — simple and delightful. Who doesn’t love chocolate and bubbles?
Last week I tried Pavan mixed with Perrier and found it incredibly refreshing — my new pick for summer. It tastes like white wine with a bit of a kick and makes me feel like I’m lounging on the beach in a vintage swimsuit. I hope it becomes available everywhere soon so other white-wine lovers can try it too.

Ingredients
- 16 ounces of your favorite milk or dark chocolate
- 1 1/2 cups buttered and salted popcorn
- 1/3 cup gummy bears
- 1/4 cup Reese’s Pieces or M&M’s
- 2 tablespoons salted peanuts
- assorted sprinkles
- any other favorite movie candy
Instructions
-
Line a small baking sheet with aluminum foil and top it with a sheet of parchment paper.
-
Melt 14 ounces of the chocolate in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between intervals, or use a double boiler. Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment and spread it into a square or rectangle with a spatula. Scatter some popcorn, candy and sprinkles over the chocolate, pressing gently so they stick. Chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes to set quickly.
-
Melt the remaining 2 ounces of chocolate, remove the pan from the fridge and drizzle the extra chocolate over the top. Add any additional candy or sprinkles, then return to the fridge for a few minutes until fully set. Break into pieces and enjoy.
