📝 Preparation Steps
1
Coat an 11- by 17-inch baking pan with 2 teaspoons butter. Toss the popcorn and salt together and spread the popcorn in an even layer in baking pan. Set aside.
2
Place the chocolate and vegetable shortening in a double boiler or a heat-proof dish set over a pot of simmering water and stir occasionally until melted. Set aside and keep warm.
3
Combine the sugar, corn syrup, cream, and butter in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the caramel reaches the firm-ball stage and reads 249°F on a candy thermometer. Immediately remove from the heat and pour the caramel over the popcorn in fat ribbons.
4
Let the caramel cool. Pour the chocolate in fat ribbons over the popcorn, taking care not to completely cover the caramel. Cool completely before slicing into 3 1/4-inch squares. Store, in an airtight container, for up to 3 days.
