Peanut Butter Popcorn

Peanut Butter Popcorn is a fun family treat that you can dress up for any holiday or occasion.  It’s the perfect treat to share with friends and neighbors.

 Peanut Butter Popcorn Ingredients

• Popcorn – you can use microwave popcorn or you can make the popcorn in the air popper or on the stove top. You will need 18 cups of popped popcorn which is 2 bags of microwave popcorn.
• White Chocolate – white chocolate chips or chopped up white chocolate bar will work too.
• Peanut Butter – I use creamy peanut butter.
• Candy pieces – I like to use peanut butter M & M’s or Reese’s pieces but you can also use regular M & M’s or any fun candy you like!  Use a fun holiday colored candy to dress up the popcorn and make it look more festive.

How to Make Peanut Butter Popcorn

• Pop your popcorn and be sure to remove all the unpopped kernels.  We call them old maids.
• Microwave your popcorn for about 30 seconds to soften it to make sure it coats the popcorn more evenly.
• Melt white chocolate on stove top in a double boiler or in the microwave.   White chocolate burns easily so do it in short intervals in the microwave on a lower power.
• Mix together peanut butter and melted white chocolate.

• Place popped corn into a large bowl and pour peanut butter mixture over it.  Stir gently to coat popcorn.  Add in candy pieces, stir to combine.

• Spread the popcorn mixture onto a baking sheet.  Allow it to set up and dry.
• Once the chocolate has hardened you can package the popcorn up into cellophane bags and add a cute little bow and share!  Or you can just eat the whole thing yourself!!

The combination of sweet and salty is one of my favorites.
