Peanut Butter Popcorn
This Peanut Butter Popcorn is a variation of soft caramel corn with a gentle peanut butter flavor. Kids love it and adults love it.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unpopped popcorn or 15 cups popped popcorn
- 1 1/2 cups dry-roasted peanuts, (optional)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pop corn in your desired method (see note) and remove any unpopped kernels. Place in a large bowl and stir in peanuts if using.
- In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, honey and corn syrup. Bring mixture to boiling, continue boiling for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved. Do not boil too long or your popcorn will be rock hard. Remove from heat.
- Stir in peanut butter and vanilla. Immediately pour over popcorn and stir to coat. Serve warm or a room temperature.
Notes
HOW TO POP POPCORN
There are a number of ways to do this but my favorite way is with this Whirly Pop. I start with a tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat. Once it starts melting, I add in a 1/2 cup of unpopped kernels and start stirring. Keep cooking over medium high heat until you hear the popping stop. Remove from heat.
