Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 0 as desired optional toppings (sprinkles, chopped nuts, etc.)
Instructions
Pop the popcorn kernels using an air popper or stovetop method. Once popped, transfer the popcorn to a large mixing bowl, removing any unpopped kernels.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 15-second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. Do not overheat.
Add the salt to the melted white chocolate and peanut butter mixture, stirring to combine.
Pour the melted mixture over the popcorn. Gently toss using a spatula or large spoon, ensuring all the popcorn is evenly coated.
Spread the coated popcorn onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If desired, sprinkle optional toppings over the popcorn while it is still wet.
Allow the popcorn to cool and set for about 30 minutes. Once hardened, break into clusters if necessary.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
