The perfect snack… peanut butter and cinnamon popcorn
Popcorn has been the snack of choice for many years in my family. Whenever there is a gathering where there are snacks you will definitely find popcorn.
When serving popcorn we usually go with butter and salt… maybe caramel popcorn once in a while. Then our daughter Krista mentioned that she likes to make peanut butter and cinnamon popcorn. I was surprised when she mentioned it, I had never heard of such a thing. That really got my interest and I couldn’t stop thinking about.
I wasn’t quite sure how this combination would be, but none the less I had to try it. I decided to add a little honey for some sweetness.
To my surprise this made one of the best popcorn that I have ever eaten. The peanut butter, honey, and cinnamon are truly a heavenly combination. If you love peanut butter you really should try this. It is simple to make and oh so tasty!! I used popcorn that I popped… no microwave popcorn, although I would think that you could use microwave popcorn if that is all you have.

Directions:
1. Place popped popcorn in a large bowl.
2. In a small sauce place butter and honey, over medium heat bring honey to a boil. Once it starts to boil remove from heat.

I love popcorn, especially on a weekend afternoon when a game is on. I’ve made Caramel Corn before but never would have thought of this combination, I bet it’s delicious.
That sounds delicious. We eat a ton of popcorn around here. This will make for a nice change 🙂
I have a feeling this is going to spur a popcorn addiction! PB and cinnamon sounds like an amazing flavor combo!
What a fun combo! This sounds beyond delish! Really good stuff — thanks so much.
