A favorite... and honestly a neighborhood favorite. :O) You know you've got a good recipe when the kids down the street ask for it once in a while! I love this popcorn not only for the three different sugars it's made with, but mostly I love this popcorn because it has peanut butter in it! I can eat A LOT of this without feeling super sick... YEAH!
My theory: The peanut butter evens things out with my blood sugar before my body hits the overload line. So maybe not such a good thing... and yet it is indeed. :O)
This post was asked for long ago when this little blog was started and I asked for requests. I have a friend, who has since moved, that went to our church. I made this for a church activity she attended and unknown to all of us... she was pregnant! And while she was pregnant THIS was one of the few things she could eat.
So before we get started, TWO things:
1- You DON'T have to eat peanut butter popcorn until you get sick just to see where your overload line is.
2- You DON'T have to be pregnant to feel like this is one of the few things you can eat. (You can pretty much eat this whenever you'd like... I'm finally adding it into my blog.) ;O)
Peanut Butter Popcorn
1 C. popcorn kernels, air-popped
cooking spray
½ C. honey
½ C. corn syrup
1 C. sugar
1 C. peanut butter - your favorite
1 tsp vanilla
Pop 1 cup popcorn kernels according to your manufacture's instructions. Separate the popcorn from the un-popped kernels and into two to three bowls very lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth.
Pour even amounts of peanut butter glaze over popcorn in each bowl ONE AT A TIME, and stir to coat.
If there is any left to store... Keep in an air-tight container.

| Bret Sr. loves this Natural Jif Creamy... I prefer Adams Crunchy, but have a hard time locating Adams PB here in Texas :O) |

| When you get your mixture to an easy boil, set your timer and make sure you have your popcorn all the way ready. You'll have to move quickly once your done boiling and then add your favorite PB and vanilla. This mixture will start setting up FAST! And you want it on your popcorn... not stuck in your pan. |

| Separating your popcorn from the un-popped kernels will save you from dental pain later! And this is where I get to say I am not liable for you forgetting... (you got TWO REMINDERS!) :O) |

| Using parchment paper keeps your counters happy! TIP: Do NOT use wax paper... you might end up with wax-paper-PB popcorn. YUCK |
