White Chocolate Peanut Butter Popcorn

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup popcorn
• vegetable oil
• fine salt
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 6 ounces white chocolate, melted

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare a clean paper shopping bag or oversized mixing bowl. Heat a large heavy pan over medium heat and film the bottom with vegetable oil. Add the popcorn, shake to distribute, then put a lid on the pan. Leave a small crack for steam to escape. When the popcorn starts popping, shake vigorously to make sure the kernels pop evenly. When the popping slows, take the pan off the heat.

2. 2

   Pour the popcorn into the paper bag or bowl to cool, being careful to leave any unpopped kernels in the pan. Lightly salt the popcorn to taste.

3. 3

   Mix the honey and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Let it simmer for a couple minutes, then remove from the heat and add the peanut butter. Stir vigorously until all the peanut butter is melted, and then mix in the vanilla.

4. 4

   Immediately pour the peanut butter caramel over the popcorn and stir with a long-handled wooden spoon until it's all coated. Pour onto a greased cookie sheet. Drizzle with white chocolate.
