Ingredients

  • 16 cups popped popcorn
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup cashews

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the popcorn in a large bowl. (If you don’t have a really big bowl, you can do this in 2 bowls. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the corn syrup, honey, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, then boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the peanut butter. Stir until the peanut butter is melted and combined. Stir in the vanilla.
  3. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the popcorn, then gently stir until the popcorn in coated. Divide the popcorn between the two prepared baking sheets, laying the popcorn in as even of a layer as you can.
  4. Place the chocolate in a small microwave safe bowl and microwave at 50% power until it is halfway melted, then stir until the chocolate is completely melted. (If it’s not melted all the way, you can put it back in the microwave for 10 second increments.)
  5. Using a fork, drizzle the chocolate over the popcorn. Immediately sprinkle the cashews over the chocolate.

Notes

  • You need to add the cashews right after the chocolate to give them something to stick to. If you really want the cashews to be stuck to the popcorn, you can also add them in when you stir in the peanut butter mixture.
