Popped! Republic Chocolate and Caramel Bars
Popcorn bars are a great treat for any occasion! They are easy to make and there are so many different flavors you can try from sweet to savory to both! We really love to combine our Classic Caramel and our Chocolate Drizzle Kettle Corn to create a super yummy bar that that caramel fans will not be able to get enough of! To start, combine the two popcorn flavors in a bowl, mix and set aside for later. Next, combine the butter, water, powdered sugar, corn syrup, salt, and the little marshmallows in a pot over medium heat and bring it to a boil. As soon as the sweet mixture starts to boil, remove it from the heat and stir into the popcorn bowl until all the popcorn is coated. Before the mixture cools pour it into a square baking dish and spread it out until it covers the entire bottom of the dish and let the spread cool in the fridge for a few minutes until it is chilled. After it has been chilled, cut the sheet of sweet popcorn into squares and enjoy these delicious chocolate and caramel popcorn bars!

Popped! Republic S’more popcorn puffs
With these yummy s’more popcorn puffs, you can feel like you are camping from the comfort of your own home! For this recipe, you will need a bag of Chocolate Drizzle Kettle Corn! This recipe can get sticky, so we suggest laying some cooking parchment paper down on our countertop for when you mold your s’mores popcorn puffs. To start, combine half your little marshmallow and Chocolate Drizzle Kettle Corn in a large mixing bowl and set aside for later. Next, combine the butter, water, powdered sugar, corn syrup, and the rest of your marshmallows in a pot over medium heat and bring it to a boil. As soon as the sweet mixture starts to boil, remove it from the heat and stir in your vanilla and salt. After this has been mixed, pour it over the bowl of little marshmallow and Chocolate Drizzle Kettle Corn and stir so everything is mixed. You will want to let the mixture cool off for a little since it will be hot but once it is warm, quickly shape the mixture into balls of your desired size before the mixture gets cold! Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers and enjoy your delicious S’more popcorn puffs!
