So yes, you need those tall skinny disposables to serve this because that presentation just makes this dessert look the coolest. It’s all basic ingredients, all familiar items, yet this will be a hit dessert both for the looks and the taste. Oh, and it’s super easy to make. Make it dairy for your Chanukah party or melaveh malkah, or make it pareve for Shabbos Chanukah or your fleishig party. Both work.

Ingredients

Pretzel Crust

  • 4 ounces salted pretzels, crushed (about 1 and 1/4 cups crumbs)

  • 1/4 cup Haddar Brown Sugar

  • 1 stick butter (or 1/2 cup oil)

Chocolate Ganache

  • 1 cup heavy cream OR non-dairy whipped topping

  • 8 ounces good-quality chocolate, such as Geneve, finely chopped

Topping

  • caramel popcorn

Directions

1.

In a bowl, combine pretzels, brown sugar, and butter. Add to individual cups.

2.

Place chocolate in a bowl. In a small saucepan, bring heavy cream to a boil over high heat. Pour over chocolate. Let sit for three to four minutes, as the cream helps to melt the chocolate.

3.

Whisk chocolate mixture until smooth (if there are any lumps still left, microwave for 15 seconds and whisk again). Pour over pretzel mixture (I use a piping bag to do this neatly, and I pinch the end when transferring the bag from one dessert cup to the next so it doesn’t flow out when I don’t want it to). Place in the refrigerator or freezer until firm.

4.

When chocolate is firm, add caramel popcorn on top.

Notes:

Dessert can be frozen until day of serving. It’s best to add popcorn fresh. Let thaw a bit before serving.
