This bowl of popcorn is a fantastic treat for lovers of banana desserts.

At its base, it is a mixture of cauldron corn and crispy plantain chips. Then if you want something more indulgent, try adding peanut butter and chocolate chips.

I can't get over how cute these “ice cream” cones look! They're great for serving on a hot summer day when you don't want anything to melt.

Plus, they make great campfire snacks.

Similar to the recipe above, you will top the popcorn with butter and marshmallows to form an “ice cream”. Then roll it into chips while it's still hot so it sticks.

The only drawback to this is that the popcorn will need to sit until hardened. That means you'll have to prepare this ahead of time.

Luckily, it's very easy. Just be prepared to eat a lot!
