Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Popped popcorn (plain, unsalted)
- 1 cup White chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Place the popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl, ensuring there's enough room to toss the popcorn with the coating later. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, unsalted butter, and light corn syrup.
Microwave the mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth (this should take about 1-2 minutes in total).
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt for added flavor.
Immediately pour the warm white chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the popcorn. Use a large spatula to gently toss and coat the popcorn evenly.
If using mini chocolate chips, sprinkle them over the coated popcorn while it’s still warm. The chips may partially melt, creating a chocolate drizzle effect.
Spread the popcorn onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Allow the popcorn to cool and set at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes, or until the coating hardens.
Break the popcorn into clusters and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
