Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 cups popped popcorn, unseasoned
- ¼ cup peanut butter
Binding Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) maple syrup
Chocolate Drizzle:
- ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ tablespoons (22.5 milliliters) coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare a large parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring an even, flat surface for the popcorn.
- Carefully spread freshly popped corn across the baking sheet in a uniform single layer, avoiding clumping.
- Create a rich, glossy coating by combining coconut oil, peanut butter, and maple syrup in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Stir the mixture continuously until all ingredients meld into a smooth, shiny liquid with no visible separation.
- Gently cascade the warm peanut butter mixture over the popcorn, using a folding motion to ensure each kernel receives an even, delicate coating.
- Allow the peanut butter-glazed popcorn to rest and solidify at room temperature for approximately 10 minutes.
- Prepare the chocolate drizzle by melting chocolate chips with coconut oil in a separate saucepan, stirring until achieving a silky, glossy consistency.
- Delicately stream the molten chocolate across the peanut butter-coated popcorn, creating elegant, random patterns.
- Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature for 15-20 minutes until the coating hardens and becomes crisp.
Notes
- Prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy popcorn spreading and cleanup.
- Melt coconut oil, peanut butter, and maple syrup together to create a rich, smooth coating for maximum flavor absorption.
- Gently toss popcorn to ensure even distribution of the creamy peanut butter mixture, preventing clumping.
- Use a light hand when drizzling chocolate to create an attractive, artisan-style finish.
- Allow the popcorn to cool completely for a crisp texture and to help the chocolate and peanut butter coating set properly.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent the popcorn from becoming stale.
