How to Make Popcorn Bars
- Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of shortening in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt in a double boiler.
- Chill the melted chocolate mixture in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, or until thickened.
- Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with foil, ensuring the foil extends over the sides for easy removal.
- Lightly grease the foil with cooking spray.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1/2 cup of butter.
- Stir in 10 ounces of marshmallows and 1 cup of butterscotch chips until completely melted and smooth.
- Place 10 cups of popped popcorn in a large bowl.
- Pour the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and gently toss until every piece is evenly coated.
- Firmly press half of the popcorn mixture into the prepared pan.
- Spread the chilled chocolate mixture evenly over the popcorn layer.
- Firmly press the remaining popcorn mixture over the chocolate layer.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
