Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and 2-3 popcorn kernels as testers. Once they pop, add the rest of the popcorn kernels and cover the pot with a lid.
Shake the pot continuously to keep the kernels moving as they pop. When the popping slows down to 1-2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat and carefully transfer the popcorn to a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of salt over the popcorn.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter, honey, and butter. Stir until the mixture is melted and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Drizzle the warm peanut butter mixture over the popcorn. Use a spatula or clean hands to gently toss the popcorn until it is evenly coated.
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by microwaving in 15-20 second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the coated popcorn. Toss lightly to distribute the chocolate, or leave it as a drizzle for a decorative look.
Spread the popcorn out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature, letting the chocolate set.
Once the popcorn is set, break it into clusters and transfer it to a serving bowl. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
