Sweet and salty snacks at the cinema has always made sense to me. Clodagh, my colleague, sparked this whole idea with her genius move of mixing Maltesers into salted popcorn. The recipe that emerged is quite different (…no Maltesers in sight!). These are popcorn brittle bites with chipotle and cinnamon, some crunchy peanuts and some lime zest that cuts through all that richness.
Break into bite-sized pieces, toss into a big bowl, and reluctantly share. If - by some small miracle - there are any leftovers, they'll keep in an airtight container for a day.
