CHOCOLATE-PEANUT PARTY POPCORN



Chocolate-Peanut Party Popcorn image

"I use semisweet chocolate because it works with the toffee and butter, but milk chocolate tastes just as good!" says Sunny.

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/3 cup popcorn kernels
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more if needed
1/2 cup toffee chips
1/2 cup honey-roasted peanuts
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Combine the vegetable oil and 1 popcorn kernel in a heavy pot over high heat; cover. When it pops, add the rest of the kernels. Partially cover and cook, shaking the pot, until you no longer hear the popping sounds. Remove from the heat and spread the popcorn on a baking sheet.
  • In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the toffee chips and peanuts and stir until the toffee melts and evenly coats the peanuts, about 2 minutes, adding more butter if needed. Pour the mixture over the popcorn. Use a rubber spatula to toss the popcorn and toffee sauce to evenly coat.
  • Put the chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted. Dip a whisk in the melted chocolate and use it to drizzle over the popcorn. Let harden before serving.

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.

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!

WHITE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER POPCORN



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.

Tips for Making Heck Yes! Chocolate Peanut Butter Popcorn:

  • Use fresh popcorn. Stale popcorn will not be as flavorful and will not hold the chocolate and peanut butter coating as well.
  • Pop the popcorn in a large pot or Dutch oven. This will give the popcorn plenty of room to pop and will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Be patient when melting the chocolate and peanut butter. It is important to melt them slowly and evenly so that they do not burn.
  • Use a silicone spatula to stir the chocolate and peanut butter mixture. This will help to prevent the mixture from sticking to the pot or Dutch oven.
  • Pour the chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the popcorn in a large bowl. Use a spoon to stir the popcorn until it is evenly coated.
  • Spread the popcorn out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will help the popcorn to cool and harden more quickly.
  • Refrigerate the popcorn for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the chocolate and peanut butter coating to set.

Conclusion:

Heck Yes! Chocolate Peanut Butter Popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for parties, movie nights, or just a sweet treat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a popcorn that is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a sweet and salty snack, give Heck Yes!
