Peanut Butter Cup Popcorn — Reese’s peanut butter cups folded into popcorn for a delicious sweet-and-salty treat that chocolate and peanut butter fans will love.
My family eats a lot of popcorn, yet I realized I hadn’t shared many popcorn recipes here. Time to change that. This Peanut Butter Cup Popcorn is rich, addictive, and ridiculously simple to prepare. Peanut butter and chocolate are a classic pairing, and when combined with crunchy popcorn it becomes an irresistible snack.
I tested the proportions a few times to get the texture right. My first attempt used too much coating, which made the popcorn soft. It still tasted good, but I prefer my popcorn with a crunch, so I reduced the coating and landed on the perfect balance—plenty of peanut butter flavor without losing the crispness.
This snack couldn’t be easier. Melt peanut butter chips with a bit of creamy peanut butter, drizzle the mixture over popped popcorn, stir gently to coat, then toss in chopped mini Reese’s peanut butter cups. Finish with a light drizzle of melted chocolate and let it set. The hardest part is waiting for the chocolate to firm up before you dig in.
If you adore Reese’s like I do, this is a must-try. It’s an easy make-ahead snack for movie nights, parties, or whenever you need something delightfully sweet and crunchy.
