Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Peanut Butter Popcorn Treats.
Step 1
To start your delicious popcorn balls, grab a large saucepan and combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter.
Step 2
Set the heat to medium and stir constantly until the mixture comes to a lively rolling boil.
Step 3
Once you see those bubbles dancing, carefully remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the creamy peanut butter.
Step 4
Keep mixing until everything is smooth and well blended—this is where the magic happens! Next, take your freshly popped popcorn and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Step 5
Pour that luscious peanut butter mixture over the popcorn, and gently toss it all together.
Step 6
You want every piece of popcorn to be coated in that sweet, nutty goodness.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to get your hands a little messy! Lightly butter your hands to prevent sticking, and take portions of the popcorn mixture to shape into balls about the size of a golf ball.
Step 8
You should be able to create around 16 delightful popcorn balls.
Step 9
Once you’ve formed all your treats, arrange them on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
Step 10
Let them set for at least 30 minutes—this is the perfect time to admire your handiwork and maybe sneak a taste! After they’ve firmed up, they’re ready to be enjoyed.
Step 11
These popcorn balls are not just a treat; they’re a fun, nostalgic snack that’s perfect for sharing with family and friends.
Step 12
Enjoy every bite!.
