200g marshmallows
1 cup popped popcorn
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots or glace cherries (or a mixture)
METHOD
1. Line an 18x28cm brownie tin with baking paper (for a deeper
slice, use a smaller tin).
2. Place the chocolate chips or melts in a large microwave dish or glass bowl. Microwave on medium (50% power) for 3-4 minutes stirring every 30 seconds until melted (or melt over hot water as per the
instructions on the packet).
3. Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable shortening and stir until melted. If this doesn’t seem to make the chocolate runnier, add the second teaspoonful and stir again.
4. Add the marshmallow, popcorn and fruit to the melted chocolate, and stir gently to combine. Carefully tip the mixture into the prepared tin
and spread to a roughly uniform depth (the mixture doesn’t need to fill the tin completely - uneven edges are part of the charm).
5. Refrigerate until cold, then cut into serving-sized pieces.
