Popcorn Peanut Butter Cups Recipe
Ingredients:
8 cups popped JOLLY TIME Blast O Butter Microwave Pop Corn
1 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate pieces
Small peanut butter cups
Instructions:
Pop popcorn according to the package directions.
Open bag carefully and pour into a large bowl; discard unpopped kernels.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat corn syrup 3 minutes or just until boiling. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter and chocolate pieces until smooth. Pour syrup mixture over popcorn; toss to coat evenly.
Using heaping tablespoon, spoon out mixture onto a lightly-buttered wax, paper-lined baking sheet. Flatten each popcorn mound slightly and make indentation in the center with thumb or wooden spoon handle.
Fill each center with peanut butter cups. Store in tightly covered container.
Yields: 20
Results: I had a little difficulty making these because the popcorn mixture really did not want to stay together and I was worried that they would not form correctly and would not retain the peanut butter cup on the top. Half an hour in the refrigerator was all it took to get it all to stick correctly. These were very tasty treats! The popcorn mixture was very reminiscent of a peanut butter cup and the actual candy on top really tied the whole treat together. These are definitely a fun snack to make and they are really delicious! As always, I enjoy the taste of JOLLY TIME Popcorn and plan on using some lower fat versions in 2014 to help support my goal of healthy eating (after I finish off these treats of course)!
