“Snack”urday: Chocolate Peanut Butter Popcorn

I have enough peanut butter for an army…I was informed by my 10 year old.  When you have 3 kids you tend to stock up on peanut butter.  With all the back to school sales Peanut butter is pretty affordable right now.  I was on a mission for a peanut butter recipe.  However, there are not many that don’t call for chocolate.  I made a comment about this in my house.  The general response was..”because they are good together.”  Well, I can’t argue with that.  So when I found a great Peanut Butter Popcorn Recipe I thought, why not add chocolate…I mean, they are good together. ~giggle~

This is great for a movie night, slumber party, or to give as gifts during the holidays.  You can always make a batch just cause you want something chocolaty! You could even add nuts. Don’t wait another minute.  Run to the kitchen and make this now!  You won’t regret it!
