Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

I've used Willie Harcourt-Cooze's 100% Venezuelan Black chocolate for this. It gives the popcorn a great intensity of flavour. If you can't get your hands on it, then use the highest percentage dark chocolate you can find.

20g popping corn kernels
2tsp icing sugar
2tsp good-quality cocoa powder
1tbsp grated 100% Venezuelan Black chocolate, or more if you wish

Put the popping corn, icing sugar and cocoa powder into the popcorn machine and wait for the kernels to pop. (Alternatively, put it all in a pan with a lid on, over a low heat.)

Toss in the grated chocolate as soon as the popcorn comes out of the machine.
