Peanut Butter Chocolate Popcorn

Jake and I went to Trader Joe's a few days ago and found these de-li-cious mini milk chocolate peanut butter cups. I love them! In my personal opinion, they are better than Reese's. I combined them with popcorn and a little more sugar to create a great party snack.

Recipe slightly altered from Two Peas and Their Pod

Here's what you need:

-5 cups butterless, plain popcorn popped

-Salt

-1/4 cup honey

-3 Tbs sugar

-1/4 cup peanut butter

-1/4 tsp vanilla extract

-A dark chocolate bar

-3/4 cup Trader Joe's mini milk chocolate peanut butter cups (or mini reese's cups)

Here's what you do:

-Lightly salt the popped popcorn

-In a saucepan, combine honey and sugar. Stir regularly until it comes to a boil, then let simmer for two minutes.

-Add peanut butter and vanilla. Stir until well mixed and peanut butter is melted.

-Stir into popcorn while still hot.

-Spread onto wax paper.

-Use a micro-plane to grate dark chocolate on top of the popcorn. (Use as much or as little as you want)

-Allow to cool completely.

-Break popcorn mixture apart into small pieces.

-Place popcorn pieces and peanut butter cups in a bowl and mix well.

-Serve
