Ingredients

2 Tbsp.
vegetable oil
100 g
(3½oz) corn kernels
200 g
(7oz) white chocolate, chopped
Sugar sprinkles, to decorate

Directions

1. Step 1
  Lay out two large sheets of baking parchment on a flat surface. Heat the oil over high heat in a large, deep pan that has a tight-fitting lid. Add the corn kernels, swirl the pan to coat them in oil, then cover with the lid. When the corn starts popping, keep carefully shaking the pan to get as many kernels to pop as possible without scorching. When the popping stops, take the pan off the heat and set aside.
2. Step 2
  Next, melt the chocolate in a large, heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water (make sure the base of the bowl does not touch the water). Alternatively, melt chocolate in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl by heating for 20sec bursts at full power until melted.
3. Step 3
  Pour the chocolate into the popcorn pan and carefully stir to coat - using your hands is easiest. (If your pan is too full, split the popcorn into two large bowls and add half the chocolate to each bowl.) Spread the popcorn out on the baking parchment and immediately scatter over the sprinkles. Leave to set before bagging/serving.
