Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Popcorn
It is perfectly acceptable for someone to eat an entire bag of popcorn alone.
Right?
I guess except for when that popcorn is covered in peanut butter, honey, sugar and chocolate. Not so acceptable now is it? I couldn’t help myself – that bowl of goodness kept calling my name! I don’t need your disapproving thoughts…
I need a treadmill.
When Planters sent me two jars of their new peanut butter to create a snack with, I went through a couple of trial recipes and tons of ideas. I love peanut butter. I love this peanut butter. With minimal ingredients and no filler, it tastes like…uh…peanuts! Fresh. Roasted. Peanuts. Imagine that. After a couple spoonfuls and a thumbs up from the Munchkin, This is what I decided on. Adapted from The Kitchn.

Thanks for having us week by week!
Wow – this looks fantastic!! Is the end product crunchy?
Jenna, it is crunchy after you let it cool. Then you have to store it in an airtight container to keep that crunch – otherwise it will soften if left out.
Oh my, this looks REALLY delicious. This is my first visit to your blog and I am impressed by your recipes. Will come back!
Welcome!
