Peanut Butter Popcorn
Sweetened with maple syrup, this peanut buttery popcorn is not quite as sugary as caramel corn, but it’s just as satisfying.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1/2 cup popping corn
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper and reserve.
- In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add two kernels of corn and wait for them to pop. Add remaining corn and shake, cover and shake frequently until all the corn is popped. Transfer to a large bowl.
- In a small pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the maple syrup, peanut butter, vanilla and salt. Stir well and bring to a full boil, scraping the bottom so it doesn’t stick. Pour over the popped corn and use spatula to toss and coat the corn.
- Spread on the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes. Cool by placing the pan on a rack.
