Peanut Butter and Jelly Popcorn
I love getting creative when it comes to after school snacks. It seems like the second the kids run through the door, take off their shoes and toss their backpacks down, they are rummaging through the cupboards to find a snack.
It can get tough sometimes to think of new snacks for the kiddos. I have created this fun popcorn that all of the kids are going to just love. It's a spin on the very popular peanut butter and jelly combination.....this time in popcorn form.
I've tossed freshly popped popcorn with a warm peanut butter mix and serve it with a side of warm jelly for dipping. Watch the kids faces when you treat them with this fun after school snack. Lots of smiles for sure!
Peanut Butter and Jelly Popcorn
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/3 cup popcorn kernels
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup warmed creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup warmed jelly
Instructions
Place oil in large pot over medium heat. Place one popcorn kernel to test heat, when kernel pops add remaining kernels. Close with lid and cook until popping has slowed. Transfer popcorn to a large bowl. Combine melted butter and warmed peanut butter, stirring until well combined. Drizzle over popcorn and stir to coat. Transfer to bowls and serve with warmed jelly to dip.
