Week 3: Peanut Butter Popcorn



Today is National Peanut Butter Day and this past Monday, in addition to being MLK day, was also National Popcorn Day. So what more appropriate recipe to try today than Peanut Butter Popcorn. Oh yeah!

The recipe called for microwave popcorn, but I don't use microwave popcorn anymore since it's not as healthy.

Also because we have lots of regular popcorn (thanks to hubby who thinks "anything worth doing is worth doing to excess").



Normally I pop the corn in butter and peanut oil in this Whirley Pop Stovepop popper. 


But I figured with the peanut butter, I didn't need any extra butter or oil. So I decided to use the air popper.


An added bonus -- the hot air helped warm my cold hands.

Corn is popped. Now it's time to make the topping.


Which consists of brown sugar, corn syrup and peanut butter.


Bring the syrup and sugar to a boil


Then add the peanut butter and pour over the popcorn.


Yummy!
