Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Protein-Packed Peanut Butter Popcorn.
Step 1
Start by bringing the light corn syrup, honey, and white sugar to a gentle boil in a saucepan. Stir occasionally and let it bubble away for about two minutes. This is where the magic begins!
Step 2
Once the mixture has boiled for two minutes, take it off the heat. Now, stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Keep stirring until the peanut butter melts completely and blends into a smooth, luscious sauce.
Step 3
In a large bowl, pour in the freshly popped microwave popcorn. Drizzle the warm peanut butter sauce over the popcorn, making sure to cover every fluffy piece. Use a spatula or your hands to gently toss the popcorn until it’s all evenly coated with that sweet, sticky goodness.
Step 4
Let the popcorn cool completely. As it cools, it will harden slightly, making it easier to break into delightful chunks. Once cooled, break it into pieces and serve it up! Enjoy this protein-packed treat as a snack or a fun party food.
