CHOCOLATE-PEANUT PARTY POPCORN



Chocolate-Peanut Party Popcorn image

"I use semisweet chocolate because it works with the toffee and butter, but milk chocolate tastes just as good!" says Sunny.

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/3 cup popcorn kernels
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more if needed
1/2 cup toffee chips
1/2 cup honey-roasted peanuts
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Combine the vegetable oil and 1 popcorn kernel in a heavy pot over high heat; cover. When it pops, add the rest of the kernels. Partially cover and cook, shaking the pot, until you no longer hear the popping sounds. Remove from the heat and spread the popcorn on a baking sheet.
  • In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the toffee chips and peanuts and stir until the toffee melts and evenly coats the peanuts, about 2 minutes, adding more butter if needed. Pour the mixture over the popcorn. Use a rubber spatula to toss the popcorn and toffee sauce to evenly coat.
  • Put the chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted. Dip a whisk in the melted chocolate and use it to drizzle over the popcorn. Let harden before serving.

MISS BROWN'S PEANUT-PISTACHIO CARAMEL CORN



Miss Brown's Peanut-Pistachio Caramel Corn image

Do you remember that caramel corn mixed with peanuts that would come in a small cardboard box and have a toy hidden inside? Well, this is my version, with a Gullah spin. I add a mixture of nuts and sesame seeds (known as benne seeds in Gullah and Low Country cooking) to the buttery, sweet caramel corn.

Time 1h45m

Yield 18 to 20 servings (20 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking pans
15 cups popped popcorn (from 1/2 to 2/3 cup unpopped; see Cook's Note)
1 cup salted red-skinned peanuts
1 cup shelled pistachios
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
6 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
1 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Grease or butter two large, rimmed baking pans. Combine the popcorn, peanuts, pistachios and sesame seeds in a very large bowl or roasting pan.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, corn syrup, peanut butter and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then cook until the mixture is completely emulsified and there is no visible melted butter around the edge of the pan, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and baking soda. (The mixture will puff up.)
  • Pour the mixture evenly over the popcorn mixture and toss well to coat. Divide the popcorn between the two prepared pans, spreading in an even layer. Bake the popcorn for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes and rotating the pans so it cooks evenly. Let cool in the pans, about 20 minutes. Break into pieces to serve.

PEANUT, CARAMEL, AND CHOCOLATE TART



Peanut, Caramel, and Chocolate Tart image

You won't be able to resist a slice of this gooey yet crunchy dessert.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 2h30m

Yield Makes one 9-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 box (9 ounces) chocolate wafer cookies, finely ground (2 1/3 cups)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Salt
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup creme fraiche
1 cup roasted salted peanuts
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
Salt
1 1/4 cups smooth peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
7 ounces semisweet chocolate (preferably 56 percent cacao), chopped
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the chocolate crust: Combine cookie crumbs, granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Stir in butter. Press mixture into bottom and 2 1/2 inches up sides of 9-inch springform pan. Bake until dry and firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool.
  • Make the caramel sauce: Heat granulated sugar and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, washing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming, until medium amber, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and carefully add heavy cream (mixture will bubble and steam). Return to heat, and bring to a boil, making sure caramel that seized up when cream was added melts. Transfer to a bowl, and stir in creme fraiche. Refrigerate until cool but still pourable, about 45 minutes. Fold in peanuts.
  • Meanwhile, make the peanut butter mousse: Beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Beat in 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add peanut butter and vanilla, and beat until combined. Whisk heavy cream in a separate bowl until medium-stiff peaks form. Fold one-third of the whipped cream into peanut butter mixture. Fold in remaining whipped cream in 2 additions.
  • Assemble the tart: Pour caramel sauce into cooled chocolate crust. Gently spread peanut butter mousse over caramel in an even layer, making sure they don't blend together. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Make the chocolate ganache: Place chocolate in a small heatproof bowl. Bring cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour cream over chocolate, and let stand for 1 minute. Whisk to combine. (Use immediately.)
  • Remove tart from refrigerator, and pour in ganache to cover surface. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
