Ingredients

1/2 cup popcorn
2 tbs vegetable oil

Toffee

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 tbs honey
50 g butter

Toppings

100 g pretzels
200 g Mars peanut M&M's
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup hundreds and thousands

Method

Step 1

Put sugar in a saucepan, add water and stir over a low heat until dissolved.
Step 2

Add butter and honey, and bring to the boil. Cook without stirring until it reaches 138C degrees, or until it turns a golden brown colour. You can test by dropping teaspoonfuls into a cold glass of water to see if toffee hardens.
Step 3

While toffee is cooking, make the popcorn. Place oil into a saucepan on high heat, drop a grain in and if it spins slowly, the oil is hot enough. Add popcorn, replace lid and agitate until popping sound slows down.
Step 4

Place baking paper on a large tray. Cover with popcorn. Break pretzels into pieces over popcorn.
Step 5

When toffee is ready, wait until the bubbles subside and then drizzle spoonfuls of toffee over the popcorn pretzel mix. Add as much toffee as desired then work quickly to sprinkle M&M's, salt and sprinkles over the top. Allow toffee to set.
Step 6

Break into pieces and put into cellophane bags, or into jars.
