Poppy Chow

Adapted from TastyKitchen.com

1 bag microwave popcorn (or about 12 cups popped)

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)

3-4 cups confectioner's sugar (or 1 lb.)

Place popcorn in a large bowl and set aside. (I like to remove the unpopped kernels from the popcorn by "sifting" it over a cooling rack - the kernels fall through the holes.)

In a small saucepan melt butter, chocolate chips and peanut butter over medium-low heat, stirring often, until mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour over popcorn. Stir until thoroughly coated. Add confectioner's sugar. Stir until all the popcorn in evenly coated with the sugar. Allow to cool to room temp before transferring to an airtight container. Enjoy!
