95 Reviews of Peanut Butter Popcorn

I made this a few months ago, and I don't know how I forgot to rate it! It was delicious! So sweet and peanut buttery, it was just what a peanut butter fiend like me needed! Thanks for the awesome recipe. Update: Though I do love this popcorn, I thought it was a little soft. So to crisp it up, I put it in the oven at 250 for 30 minutes, stirring it at 15 minutes. It turned out wonderfully crispy, just like caramel corn! From now on, I'll bake it in the oven after mixing it all together.

    I have been making this same recipe for years. It is fantastic. It only takes about 10 minutes from start to finish and everyone loves it. Sometimes I use honey and/or maple syrup instead of corn syrup for a change in flavor. If you want a fast snack, try this!

    Delicious!...and oh, so easy. I used crunchy peanut butter and it came out wonderfully. I will be making this often this holiday season. Thank you.

    ::deep sigh:: <- This is the sound of a person who has just consumed fully one third of a batch of this popcorn. My daughter loved helping me add things to the pan. We couldn't wait for it to cool before gingerly beginning to eat one piece at a time. I'll be making this to take to my husband's work potluck. It's so inexpensive!! I think that the peanut butter could have gone even farther over more popcorn, but the richness of the current ratio is difficult to argue with. Thanks for the keeper snack!

    This is excellent!! 5+ stars It is so quick and easy to prepare. I drizzled off end of spoon, not to get popcorn soggy. I did use Splenda and reduced fat peanut butter and low-fat popcorn. Thanks for sharing

    I didn't have enough peanut butter to make this recipe so I subbed almond butter. Oh my goodness, the taste was to die for. I also doubled the amount of popcorn called for and could have used more popcorn. I like the sauce drizzled over the popcorn and this makes so much that the popcorn is really saturated with it as written. Very easy to make, although you will need a LARGE pan or what I did was spread wax paper on the table, 3 sheets, spread out the popcorn and drizzle the sauce over it. So good, I will make again. Thanks for posting.

    I made this early in the day intending to take it to a party later on. I found it to be on the chewy side even after it cooled (although very tasty), but was concerned it might be soggy by evening. I think after reading the reviews that the chewiness might have been because I cooked the topping in the microwave, or maybe I needed to use more popcorn. In any case, I decided to put it in the oven at 300 degrees for just under 10 minutes, and when it cooled it crisped right up and tasted even more peanutty and slightly less sweet. Delicious. Oh and next time I intend to take a tip I saw in one of the other popcorn reviews - to put the popped corn in a colander to filter out the unpopped kernels. (ow my tooth). Thanks for a great recipe. Thanks for a great recipe.

    This is incredible. It was so easy to make too. I used two bags of microwave buttered popcorn, and it worked really well. I put one bag of popcorn in the bowl, and put about half of the peanut butter mixture over it, then added the other bag to the bowl and repeated. I think next time I will try this with plain popcorn. It doesn't keep very well, but that didn't stop me from eating the leftovers this morning! Thank you so much for a great recipe I will definitely make again!

    This is excellent, even if it does sound unusual. A nice change to popcorn.
