I've already made this snack twice this summer! It's a no-bake masterpiece that travels well to the playground, pool, beach, tailgate or lake. Hi everyone, this is Heather from Totally Tailgates   stopping by again with a snack your whole family will love.

The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is just so darn good....throw in salty popcorn and a handful of peanuts and you have a just won the snack game!

What is in Popcorn Drizzled with Chocolate and Peanut Butter?

  • Six cups of popped popcorn
  • Milk chocolate morsels
  • Peanut butter morsels
  • Shortening
  • Peanuts (optional, and use unsalted nuts)

Why you should try this Peanut Butter Popcorn Recipe?

My obsession with this popcorn began innocently enough.

You see, I was serving at my daughter's school as PTA President. One of my board members gave me a basket of local goodies for Christmas. Inside was a cellophane bag with a super cute bow ....it held the most incredible confection....popcorn drizzled with milk chocolate. OMGosh - instant addiction!

You see, tucked away near downtown Orlando is the quaint town of Winter Park, FL. The main hub of Winter Park is Park Avenue, which is affectionately known by locals as "The Ave". In addition to the high end clothiers and restaurants that flank The Ave, there is a chocolatier known for it's decadent temptations. This is a local Orlando favorite!

Hostesses around town look forward to receiving these when casually entertaining friends, and they make fabulous teacher & neighbor gifts!

I set out to recreate this popular confection....it is SO easy and whether you take it to the playground in a plastic baggie or dress it up with bows, EVERYONE loves them!

The Playbook for Popcorn Drizzled with Chocolate and Peanut Butter

  • Make sure to use high end milk chocolate morsels - they melt without needing shortening.
  • One regular cookie sheet will hold 6 cups of popped popcorn. Cover you cookie sheet with wax paper.
  • When you pour the popcorn on the cookie sheet, make sure the popcorn kernels touch each other without overlapping.
  • A plastic spoon makes drizzling the melted chocolates a breeze, and the clean up is a cinch!
  • You can double or triple this recipe for gifts - just make sure you have enough cookie sheets!
