Popcorn coated in a smooth, warm blend of butter, crunchy peanut butter and oil. Best served right away, or set on a baking sheet for extra crunch.

Ingredients

  • 2 quarts popped corn
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Directions

  • Place the popped corn in a large bowl.
  • In a 1-pint glass measuring cup, put the butter, peanut butter, and oil.
  • Cover with wax paper and microwave on HIGH for 1 minute, or until the peanut butter is very soft.
  • Stir until smooth.
  • Drizzle slowly over the popcorn in a thin stream, tossing as you pour, so it is evenly coated.
  • Serve right away while warm. For extra crunch, spread on a baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up.

Notes

Airtight; at room temperature use within 1 to 2 days. If the kitchen is warm or it has sat out nearly 2 hours, refrigerate and use within 3 to 4 days.
