Ridiculously Good Recipes

I know I know - it's supposed to be Mushy Monday. I just don't have the time today. However, I made this popcorn again the other night and I had forgotten how much I LOOOOVE it. So here you are - the perfect movie night sweet treat:

Peanut Butter Popcorn

1/2C white sugar
1/2C corn syrup

1/2C peanut butter (crunchy, smooth, your choice)

1/2tsp vanilla

Combine the sugar and syrup in a saucepan and bring to a rolling boil on medium-high heat. Stir in the peanut butter until smooth. Remove from heat and add the vanilla.

Pour over 4-5C popped popcorn and stir to coat. Couldn't be simpler.

*hint: before pouring the peanut butter stuff over the popcorn, I sort out any unpopped kernels - your teeth will thank you.

My big sister and I used to make this religiously every Wednesday night to eat while watching "Jake and the Fatman" on TV (we were in love with "Jake" - he was delicious...so was the popcorn). It's a good memory.
