Ingredients

Instructions

  • Spread popcorn on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Melt vanilla melting wafers with peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl on 50% power for about 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Pour over popcorn on cookie sheet. Toss with your hands to coat.
  • Melt chocolate chunks in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Place in a sandwich bag with the tip cut off and drizzle over popcorn.
  • Chill the popcorn to harden, then break it apart and serve. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • You can start with a bag of popcorn like I did (any brand or flavor) or pop your own from microwave popcorn or kernels.
  • Be sure to use a no-stir brand of peanut butter.
  • I prefer using melting wafers (like Ghiradelli candy melts) because they melt better than chocolate chips. Look in the baking aisle with the baking chocoalte).
  • Use any kind of dark chocolate chunks or chocolate chips.
