How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Popcorn

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Grease a large, rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the popped popcorn and chopped peanuts.
  4. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn syrup and sugar. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low and add the chocolate chips. Stir until completely melted and smooth.
  6. Stir in the peanut butter until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  7. Pour the chocolate peanut butter mixture over the popcorn and peanut mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure all the popcorn is evenly coated.
  8. Spread the popcorn mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
  10. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the popcorn cool slightly in the pan.
  11. Line a large baking sheet with wax paper. Carefully transfer the cooled popcorn to the wax paper-lined sheet to cool completely.
  12. Once cooled, break apart any large clumps and enjoy your delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Popcorn!
