Chocolate and Peanut Butter Popcorn

If you are a reader of my blog, you know by now that I have a love affair for chocolate and peanut butter.  I really don’t think there is a better pairing in the world!  This weekend I took my love affair out on some innocent popcorn.  It was a complete success!  I saw this recipe for chocolate and peanut butter popcorn on two peas & their pod and I just had to try it.

The big football game was this past weekend  and we were invited to a party at my brother and sister in law’s house.  I thought that I should bring something over, so the popcorn made the trip.  It was a huge hit!  It was such a huge hit that I have decided to make it again this week and bring it to a work baby shower that we are having on Friday.

Of course, I used Orville Redenbacher Popcorn as he is a Hoosier and this weekend was all about Indianapolis (okay well maybe it was about the Patriots and the Giants, but our city was so alive this week that it became about Indianapolis to us).

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Popcorn

Ingredients

8 cups plain popcorn (I used one large bag of Orville Redenbacher Natural Popcorn but you can use any kind you would like)
salt, or salted popcorn
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips, melted (I used a microwave to melt the chocolate)
1 1/2 cups Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

Directions

Place the popped popcorn in a large bowl and salt to taste (skip this step if you have salted popcorn). Set aside.
Mix the honey and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and add the peanut butter. Stir vigorously until all the peanut butter is melted, then mix in the vanilla extract.

Carmel sauce

Immediately pour the peanut butter caramel over the popcorn and gently stir with a long-handled wooden spoon until it’s all coated. Spread popcorn on a large baking sheet over a piece of wax or parchment paper.

Drizzle of Chocolate

Drizzle of Chocolate

 

Drizzle popcorn with melted chocolate and let sit until chocolate hardens (I stuck it in the freezer for a couple of minutes to speed it along). Stir in the Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. You can also use chopped Reese’s Cups if you can’t find the Mini size.

    I love popcorns, from plain to cheese and barb-q flavors and from mocha-chocolate flavor… This is another variation Kathy and I am happy to find this recipe. Thank you for sharing…
