All the flavor of your favorite peanut butter cup wrapped around crunchy popcorn! This Peanut Butter Popcorn is for you, Reese’s Lovers!
I have an unabashed love for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. It’s no secret in my house — my husband and kids have been well aware for years. Early in our marriage I admitted that sometimes I reach for one first thing in the morning. Not a whole breakfast replacement, just a sleepy, roll-over-and-grab kind of treat. It was a funny little confession, but an honest one, and it turns out my husband thought it was adorable.
For years he kept a stash of Reese’s in the nightstand and would occasionally wake me with one in hand. Those small, thoughtful gestures are part of why we’ve been happily married for more than a decade. Even though mornings with a Reese’s in hand are rarer now, the memory still makes me smile. So naturally, I had to dedicate this peanut butter popcorn recipe to him — a snack that tastes like a peanut butter cup wrapped around crunchy popcorn. This one’s for you, babe.
This peanut butter popcorn is sweet, salty and creamy — almost like enjoying a peanut butter cup handed to you in the morning. It’s quick to make, great for sharing, and perfect for Reese’s lovers. Enjoy!
