Show of hands ~ who has forgotten to pull meat out of the freezer until it was time to start making dinner?  Maybe forgotten that meat needed to marinate for at least a few hours before being cooked??  Don’t be ashamed, there’s no judgement here.  I did the marinating thing just this last week.  Thought I just seasoned the chicken and then cooked it.  Nope, it needed to marinate.
 
 
So what do you do when your best laid dinner plans get shot to hell?  Well, if you’re me, you grab a box of Chicken Helper from the pantry (the whole grain kind, I do try to eat the healthy processed food), some frozen chicken fries & some frozen carrots and boom, you’ve got a dinner.
This week for #SundaySupper, our wonderful host Amber from Mama’s Blissful Bites has asked us all to bring a dish that requires a limited number of ingredients to the table.  I’m talking 5 ingredients or less people!!
 



PEANUT BUTTER CUP POPCORN
Print Friendly and PDF

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 bag microwave popcorn
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

LETS COOK:

  1. Cook popcorn according to package directions. Empty into a bowl with a lid being sure to remove any unpopped kernels.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, peanut butter, chocolate chips & vanilla.
  3. Cook on low heat until everything is melted & smooth.
  4. Pour the chocolate peanut butter mixture over the popcorn and toss with a spoon to coat.
  5. Cover and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to set.
  6. Store covered in the fridge.        
*Optional ~ sprinkle powdered sugar on top prior to serving

THIS RECIPE IS PROUDLY SHARED AT THESE FABULOUS PARTIES

    Yes my hand is raised, I have done things like that so many times. I am terrible at reading my recipe beforehand to check if there is anything I need to do the night before. Now I set reminders in my calendar, since I do meal planning any way, to go off the night before with any reminders that need to be done before the meal.

    I have never been a fan of pre-made coated popcorn. This homemade version is just what I have been looking for and you can’t go wrong with peanut butter.

      Lol, I never should have made this!! The whole bowl was gone way too quickly! My only negative about it is that the popcorn loses some of its crunch from the melted chocolate & pb so next time I think I might add some honey roasted peanuts to it to keep the crunch! I hope your kids like!! Let me know what you think!

      I hope they like it!! The popcorn loses some of its crunchiness from the melted chocolate & pb so it would definitely be good with some added peanuts in it for that extra crunch!!
