Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield about 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
One 10-ounce bag marshmallows
7 to 8 cups lightly salted popcorn, freshly popped or your favorite store brand
One 7.25-ounce bottle hardening chocolate sauce, such as Magic Shell

Steps:

  • Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Melt the peanut butter and butter together in a medium saucepan over low heat, then stir in the marshmallows. Continue to stir until the marshmallows are melted.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the popcorn to coat evenly in the melted marshmallow mixture. Pour the popcorn mixture into the coated baking dish and spread out into an even layer. Drizzle the popcorn with the chocolate sauce. Allow the popcorn treats to cool for 30 minutes, then cut into bars.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, gather all your ingredients and equipment. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the baking process.
  • Use fresh marshmallows: Fresh marshmallows will give your bars the best flavor and texture. If you use old marshmallows, they may be stale and tough.
  • Don't overcook the mixture: The mixture should be thick and bubbly, but it should not be hard. If you overcook it, the bars will be tough.
  • Let the bars cool completely: Before you cut and serve the bars, let them cool completely. This will help them set and hold their shape.
  • Store the bars properly: Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bars for up to 2 months.
