Sweet Peanut Butter Popcorn recipe

I am a popcorn fanatic!  I don't just mean that I like popcorn, I mean we keep extra bags of popcorn hidden away just to be sure we don't have a popcorn emergency!  Every night I make up a batch of popcorn and settle on the couch with Mr. Sunflowers for some cuddle/tv time.  Most of the time I am quite content to chomp on buttered corn with a little white cheddar popcorn salt.  But sometimes Mr. Sunflowers wants to eat some too and he prefers his popcorn on the sweet side.  And that is how this recipe was born.

We decided to try melting some vanilla almond bark


and adding that to the popcorn for a sweet coating.  That was pretty yummy, but we decided to take it over the top one day and THAT became our go to sweet popcorn recipe.  Today, I am sharing it with you.


You will need:
2 squares vanilla almond bark
3 Tbsp peanut butter (we use all natural but any kind should work)
8-10 cups popcorn (we use air popped)

Directions:
melt the almond bark in the microwave.  About 1 minute on high should do it.  Stir to make sure all pieces are completely melted.  Stir in peanut butter.  Pour over popcorn and stir until evenly distributed.  Allow to cool (if you can wait that long, we never can!).  Enjoy!

Until next time,
