Ingredients

  • 8 cups of popped popcorn
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable shortening

Instructions

  • In a large bowl add popped popcorn and set aside
  • In a small saucepan add the honey, peanut butter, and butter. Heat these ingredients over medium-low heat until the butter and peanut butter are melted.
  • Once the butter and peanut butter are melted drizzle the mixture over the popcorn. Toss until the popcorn is evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
  • Spread the popcorn on a jelly roll pan and place it in the refrigerator to let the peanut butter set up.
  • While the popcorn is in the refrigerator take the chocolate chips and shortening and place them in the microwave for about 25 seconds at a time, stirring after every 25 seconds.
  • Once the chocolate is melted take the popcorn out of the refrigerator and put it back into the large bowl. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the popcorn. Toss until the popcorn is evenly coated with the chocolate.
  • Spread it back onto the jelly roll pan and set it back in the refrigerator, to allow the chocolate to harden, for about 45 minutes. Remove from refrigerator and enjoy.

Notes

  1. Make sure to remove any unpopped kernels from the popcorn before adding the peanut butter and chocolate.
  2. Use a large enough bowl when adding the peanut butter mixture and the melted chocolate. It will make it a lot easier to coat the popcorn.
  3. If you want a sweet and salty snack, sprinkle with some sea salt before the chocolate gets hard.
  4. Keep the leftover popcorn in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
