These are fun little treats that are oh-so-yummy as well as oh-so-elegant. I recently tasted a sampling of artisanal popcorn and decided to try my hand at it. Here's what I came up with.

RECIPE

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 pouch microwave popcorn (approximately 10 cups)



INSTRUCTIONS

Pop the microwave popcorn as per the directions. Empty the popcorn into a large resealable bag.

In a small bowl, microwave the chocolate chips until mostly melted, about 1 minute, stopping halfway through to stir. Mix in the peanut butter and microwave for another 15 seconds. Pour the mixture into the bag of popcorn. Seal the bag and toss to evenly coat the popcorn. Spread out the coated popcorn onto a sheet of wax paper to dry for 30 minutes. Note: They will still feel slightly sticky afterwards. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
