Step 1

Start by popping the popcorn in the microwave or an air popper, then transfer it into a large bowl and throw away any un-popped kernels.

Step 2

Chop the Snickers candy bar into small chunks and set aside.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, combine the corn syrup and peanut butter, cook over medium heat, whisk gently until smooth and completely melted. The mixture will begin to bubble up slightly, allow it to gently boil for about 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 4

Add in the salt and vanilla extract, stir to combine.

Step 5

After that, pour the mixture over the popcorn and gently stir to coat the popcorn with the melted peanut butter mixture.

Step 6

Next, add in the candy pieces and peanuts (if desired). I like to add in half the chopped SNICKERS bars, give it several stirs to mix, then add the other half. Serve immediately and enjoy!
