Peanut Butter Popcorn (Mostly microwave)


So thinking about Christmas... I have been playing with popcorn. I found inspiration here and made it my own.

FIRST... Make the basic popcorn shown HERE. (set aside in Large bowl)


Then what you will need:
20 large marshmallows (about half a normal size bag)
1 stick (half a cup) of unsalted butter or spread
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
Salt to taste

Preheat oven to 200. 

In a larger microwave safe dish slice butter, top with marshmallows and brown sugar.

Place in microwave and microwave in 1 min intervals. Mix after each. {make sure that you are really stirring the marshmallows. The hot liquid will help melt them.} Over all it took me about 3 min.

Now we move REALLY fast. Quickly mix in peanut butter until smooth. Then remember the popcorn you made and put in large bowl, Pour your topping on that. (have cold water in sink running slowly incase you want to get in and mix with your hands. The cold water will help to keep your hands from getting to sticky.) Mix topping and popcorn with a spoon and/or your hands until it almost resembles rice krispies.

Spread on cookie sheet and bake in oven at 200 degrees for about 20 min.

Break apart and serve. Plan on giving a ton away or you might eat it all your self... 

Enjoy!!!
