How to Make Peanut Butter Popcorn Bars

Grease a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
In a large saucepan, combine 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup creamy peanut butter.
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil. (This will take about 3 minutes).
Remove from heat and immediately stir in 6 cups of popped popcorn (about 10 oz unpopped).
Stir until the popcorn is evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press firmly and evenly into the pan using a spatula or wax paper.
Let cool completely before cutting into bars. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for easier cutting and firmer bars.
