Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
7 oz marshmallow
⅔ cup peanut butter, divided
8 cups popcorn, popped
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
2 cups dark chocolate chip
2 cups milk chocolate chips
1 ½ cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons powdered sugar, divided
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
3 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat, then add the marshmallows and stir until starting to melt. Add ⅓ cup (80 g) of peanut butter and stir until completely melted. Remove the pot from the heat.
  • Add the popcorn to the pot and stir to coat completely. Let cool for 2 minutes.
  • Grease a 9-inch (23-cm) springform pan with nonstick spray. Press the popcorn mixture into the pan using the bottom of a measuring cup, creating an even layer along the bottom and halfway up the sides. Set aside.
  • Add the dark chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips to a medium bowl and melt in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, about 2 minutes total. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whip the cream with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form, then add 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla and beat to incorporate.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate.
  • Spoon the chocolate mixture into the popcorn crust. Spread evenly.
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining ⅓ cup (80 g) peanut butter, 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and the milk, stirring until smooth. Transfer to a small piping bag or zip-top bag.
  • Pipe lines across the surface of the pie. Drag a toothpick through, perpendicular to the lines, alternating directions from top to bottom.
  • Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
  • Release the springform, then slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

White Chocolate Peanut Butter Popcorn image

I found this recipe when I was looking through a book on Girl Scout activity ideas. I have not tried it, but would like to when we have our next Troop SWAP. Did you know popcorn kernels can pop up to 3 feet in the air?

Categories     Candy

Time 25m

Yield 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup popcorn
vegetable oil
fine salt
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
6 ounces white chocolate, melted

Steps:

  • Prepare a clean paper shopping bag or oversized mixing bowl. Heat a large heavy pan over medium heat and film the bottom with vegetable oil. Add the popcorn, shake to distribute, then put a lid on the pan. Leave a small crack for steam to escape. When the popcorn starts popping, shake vigorously to make sure the kernels pop evenly. When the popping slows, take the pan off the heat.
  • Pour the popcorn into the paper bag or bowl to cool, being careful to leave any unpopped kernels in the pan. Lightly salt the popcorn to taste.
  • Mix the honey and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Let it simmer for a couple minutes, then remove from the heat and add the peanut butter. Stir vigorously until all the peanut butter is melted, and then mix in the vanilla.
  • Immediately pour the peanut butter caramel over the popcorn and stir with a long-handled wooden spoon until it's all coated. Pour onto a greased cookie sheet. Drizzle with white chocolate.

HECK YES! (CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER POPCORN)



Heck Yes! (Chocolate Peanut Butter Popcorn) image

Peanut butter and chocolate lovers unite! This is a snappy dessert that hardly takes any time or effort. It was born one night when I was craving something delicious and melty, but being a poor college student I found myself with limited ingredients and equipment. I'm so glad that was the case, because this is now one of my favorite desserts! Heck yes! ;)

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups microwave popcorn (I always use one mini bag of Orville Redenbacher's 100 calorie kettle korn)
5 Dove dark chocolate miniatures
1/4 cup chunky peanut butter
15 Teddy Grahams honey graham snacks, if desired (can use any flavor, I use the Oatmeal-flavored)
1/4 cup mini marshmallows, if desired

Steps:

  • Pop kettle corn in microwave until finished-- listen carefully to be sure it doesn't burn! Meanwhile, chop 4 of the miniature Dove chocolates, leaving the 5th one whole.Remove popcorn from microwave and set aside.
  • Place peanut butter in microwave-safe mug and microwave until partially melted (about 15-20 seconds). Remove from microwave and put the unchopped chocolate in the peanut butter. Place peanut butter back in microwave for about another 15-20 seconds or until chocolate has melted.
  • Meanwhile, place 1/2 of the bag of popcorn in a microwave-safe bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 of the chopped chocolates, 1/2 of the teddy grahams (if desired) and a few mini marshmallows.Remove melted peanut butter from microwave and stir.
  • Drizzle 1/2 of the mixture over the popcorn and chopped chocolate in the bowl. Repeat the layers of popcorn/chopped chocolate/teddy grahams/marshmallows/drizzled peanut butter. Place bowl in microwave and heat until chopped chocolate has softened up a bit (about 10-15 seconds). Remove, sit back, and enjoy.
  • *Note: can make process even easier by substituting dark or semisweet chocolate chips in place of chopping the miniature Dove dark chocolates. Also, can add things like candy corn, colored M&M's, Reeses Pieces, etc to make recipe Holiday-friendly-- have fun with it!
