Healthy Peanut Butter Caramel Popcorn
My mom has been making caramel corn for as long as I remember, & it is one of my VERY favorite treats. I was dead set on making a version of our old fashioned caramel corn that was just a little bit healthier. I decided to add in a little bit of a chocolate PB twist, because #yum. I made this recipe for a crowd one Sunday a couple of weeks ago, & we licked the bowl clean!
INGREDIENTS:
- 3/4 cup un-popped popcorn kernels, popped & set aside in a large bowl
- 1 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup honey
- 4 TBS butter
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- optional: 2 tbs chocolate OR cocoa bar in a jar chocolate peanut butter
Combine brown sugar, honey, & butter in a medium saucepan & bring to a boil. When sugar is completely dissolved, stir in 1/2 cup peanut butter & mix completely. Pour over popcorn & stir until completely coated. Melt chocolate or cocoa bar in a jar & drizzle over the top of the popcorn.
DEVOUR.
This is one of those recipes that I see becoming a regular occurrence in my household. It is so simple, & very shareable.
