A sweet and salty snack you will be making again and again – nothing is more crowd-pleasing or delicious than peanut butter drizzled popcorn.
If peanut butter drizzled popcorn is wrong, I don’t want to be right. Sweet, salty, crunchy goodness in every bite – you will be licking your fingers by the time you reach the bottom of the bowl.
I can’t tell you why I waited so long to share this recipe with all of you but I can assure you it will be worth the wait. In fact, it’s hardly a recipe at all, but it is my favorite way to enjoy popcorn when I’m craving something sweet. The healthy fats and protein in the peanut butter combined with the whole grain fiber and other minerals in the popcorn make this a guilt-free snack.
If you love popcorn as much as I do, I must tell you about Bob’s Red Mill kernels. Giant, puffy, crunchy and fragrant – each piece is always fresh and full of flavor. While I will tell you where you can buy it, I will not tell you how much we go through on a monthly basis… I’m pleading the fifth.
Once you try popcorn drizzled with warm, melted peanut butter for the first time you will be making it again and again.
No forks required.

For all those sweet tooths looking for a good snack with limited ingredients this is okay, after coating the popcorn with peanut but add sugar (to your taste) and a dash of salt! Also try using marshmallow fluff or Nutella with the peanut butter! Tastes amazing

Definitely good advice if you like stuff on the sweeter side!

What a great idea. I thought that was caramel for a second but peanut butter is way better. I love it!
Liz DellaCroce
My salty tooth prefers peanut butter over caramel. :)

Seriously, what DOESN’T Bob’s Red Mill make? Just when I think I’m pretty familiar with most of their products, I’m like “What?!? Popcorn?”
I imagine this would disappear in about 3-1/2 seconds at my next party!
Liz DellaCroce
Seriously right?? Bob is the best!

I always love to have Crunchy, salty, buttery popcorn :D If I’m in hurry I prefer microwaved popcorn instead. Although, I’m on a strict diet, but would love to try Peanut Butter popcorn :)
