Okay let's all sing along now...

Okay for those of you living under a rock, or who don't often read my blog (why the h...e ...double hockey sticks have you not been reading??) Turtles are a very special treat here in Canada. They are little chocolate delights that will drive you to madness. Well, maybe not you. But me clearly!

And sadly there is more to come. I have another one ready to shock you with already. Clearly....issues....I need a Turtle intervention. Just wait until I post the next one, then you all can commit me. But you're gonna wanna see that one first. It will blow your socks right off! Not just rock 'em. Blow them clear off!

Okay so this one is Paula Deen's recipe. I saw it eons ago in a magazine I bought called Paula Deen's Chocolate Celebration.

I've had this magazine since 2008 and have finally started to delve into it. This one obviously caught my eye.

I shall go on teasing you another day cuz I made this even better. But you're just going to have to wait another day to see how I did that. Watch out Paula, I'm after your job!!!

• Chocolate popcorn can also be stored in the fridge in a sealed airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
• You can also freeze it in a sealed airtight container for up to 3 months.
• When you remove the chocolate popcorn from the fridge or freezer, allow it to come to room temperature before serving.
