Peanut Butter White Chocolate Popcorn


As I contemplated the title, I wondered if I even needed to write the recipe after that because it really says it all. It's pretty simple. Simple is good. Sometimes it's even the best. I'm pretty sure that's the case here. This takes literally about 5 minutes to throw together and it tastes fantastic! I was introduced to white chocolate popcorn last Christmas when a friend gave it to me as a gift. I couldn't believe how simple yet addictingly good the stuff was. If you're a peanut butter lover, this will be over the top for you-yes, it's that good!

This little treat makes the perfect little teacher or friend gift for fall or Halloween, and it's also great for crowds. So, if you're having a get together or need a last minute gift for someone, try this.

1 large bowl popped popcorn, kernels removed (or 2 bags microwave popcorn, popped)
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 bag white chocolate chips
1/2-1 cup Reeses Pieces

Pop the popcorn then sift through to remove all unpopped kernels. Melt the white in the microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds at a time for 2 minutes, stirring after each interval. Stir in the peanut butter until smooth and incorporated. Pour over popcorn and gently stir to coat popcorn evenly with chocolate. Add Reeses Pieces as you stir in the chocolate. Spread out popcorn on waxed paper to set.
