Peanut-Chocolate Popcorn

Friday night is popcorn night at our house.  It never fails that around 9:00 Eric comes up the stairs and asks me to make a bowl for him.  I was thrilled to find a new popcorn recipe in Parenting magazines April issue.  It was delicious and easy.  Here's the recipe if you want to try it.

Peanut-Chocolate Popcorn

Serves 6-8

Arrange 8 cups popped kettle corn in a single layer on cookie sheet lined with waxed paper.  Place 1 cup milk chocolate chips in a glass bowl and microwave on high in 30 second increments until melted.

Drizzle chocolate over popcorn with a spoon.  Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped honey-roasted peanuts and 1 cup Reese's Pieces over chocolate.  Chill, uncovered, in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.  Break into small pieces.  Store in an air tight container. 

I made a few substitutions. Instead of chocolate chips (because I didn't want to put it in the refrigerator) I used chocolate bark instead.  I didn't use honey roasted peanuts either because I don't like them.  I used regular salted peanuts.  It turned out yummy.  I buy the Popcorn, Indiana Kettle Corn in the red bag from Wal -Mart.  Eric and I love it.
