Peanut Butter Popcorn

If you like peanut butter, 

then you'll ♥ Peanut Butter Popcorn.

This has been a favorite recipe of mine for a bazillion years or more... 

and I'm not really a peanut butter fan. 

I remember how my kids always loved this for a 

Family Home Evening snack. 

It's lip smacking, finger licking good.

1/2 cup unpopped popcorn  (1/2 cup unpopped popcorn = 3 qts popped)
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Pop the corn and remove any unpopped kernels.

Butter sides of a heavy saucepan.

Combine honey, corn syrup and sugar in the saucepan.  Bring to boil, stirring continuously.
Boil hard for 2 minutes (no longer) as you stir.
Remove from heat.

Stir in peanut butter and vanilla.  Immediately pour over popcorn. Stir to coat well.
Spread out on a clean surface to cool.

At this point you may wish to make popcorn balls by coating your fingers in butter and pressing a handful of popcorn lightly into a ball.  A great way to limit the portion, otherwise it will all disappear in minutes.
