Joy the Baker's Buttered Popcorn Chocolate Chip Cookies post brings snacks that are commonly left for theaters only into the kitchen. Heaps of the buttery popcorn provide the ultimate basis for this post, an ingredient that is one of Joy's admitted favorites.
Joy drew inspiration for this post from Smitten Kitchen. To produce the bites, a brown sugar batter was used, making for an exceptionally gooey base. Culinary staples such as sea salt, dark chocolate, milk and egg were then added, packed together within the chunky rounds. The entry points to the merger of crunchy and soft textures, not to mention sweet and salty flavors, giving way to a rather versatile snack that will appeal to many.
