Ingredients
- 8 cups popped popcorn
- 1 cup chopped Snickers bars
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup peanuts, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Place the 8 cups of freshly popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl, ensuring there are no unpopped kernels.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and peanut butter together over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and fully combined.
- Pour the warm peanut butter mixture evenly over the popcorn, gently folding and tossing to coat all the popcorn thoroughly.
- Spread the coated popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, creating an even distribution.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval to prevent burning.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the popcorn using a spoon or piping bag for even coverage.
- Sprinkle the chopped Snickers bars and chopped peanuts over the chocolate-drizzled popcorn.
- Allow the popcorn to cool and set at room temperature for approximately 10-15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
- Break the popcorn into clusters and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use freshly popped, high-quality popcorn for the best texture and flavor.
- Ensure your peanut butter and butter are fully melted and combined for smooth coating.
- Drizzle chocolate carefully to create beautiful, Instagram-worthy patterns.
- Allow chocolate to set completely for that satisfying crunch.
- For extra richness, use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness and prevent sogginess.
- For a gourmet touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the finished popcorn.
- Make sure to remove any unpopped kernels to prevent unexpected hard bites.
