What dreadful things would happen if I incorporated popcorn into crumble?

[5childrenandit]

In a spirit of using things up - I had a brainwave of incorporating leftover toffee popcorn into a crumble topping.

Googling reveals no recipes.

What terrible reason has eluded me for why this wouldn't work?

I would give it a few pulses in the food processor with some butter &flour and then sprinkle on top & bake. I thought it would work the way adding hazelnuts works?

I don't think you could use pre-popped popcorn. You'd have to add the actual kernels to some crumble and cook them together. You also need to video the entire cooking period, speed up the tape and provide us with the YouTube link.

I think it would similar to what many fear from the large hadron collider. The world would end in a black hole singularity event.

Seriously, worst that would happen is that the popcorn would go either very hard/burned or a bit soggy (or both- top hard, bottom soggy).

But wouldn't being mixed with the crumble mix protect it?

I think I might have to try this - unpopped kernels mixed into crumble, a nice hot oven. I'll have to clean the oven door first so I can actually see what's happening.
