Heck Yes! (Chocolate Peanut Butter Popcorn)

dulce_amore's Note:

Peanut butter and chocolate lovers unite! This is a snappy dessert that hardly takes any time or effort. It was born one night when I was craving something delicious and melty, but being a poor college student I found myself with limited ingredients and equipment. I'm so glad that was the case, because this is now one of my favorite desserts! Heck yes! ;)

• Total Time: 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 1

• 2 cups microwave popcorn (I always use one mini bag of Orville Redenbacher's 100 calorie kettle korn)
• 5 Dove dark chocolate miniatures
• 1/4 cup chunky peanut butter
• 15 Teddy Grahams honey graham snacks, if desired (can use any flavor, I use the Oatmeal-flavored)
• 1/4 cup mini marshmallows, if desired

Directions:

1. Pop kettle corn in microwave until finished-- listen carefully to be sure it doesn't burn! Meanwhile, chop 4 of the miniature Dove chocolates, leaving the 5th one whole.Remove popcorn from microwave and set aside.
2. Place peanut butter in microwave-safe mug and microwave until partially melted (about 15-20 seconds). Remove from microwave and put the unchopped chocolate in the peanut butter. Place peanut butter back in microwave for about another 15-20 seconds or until chocolate has melted.
3. Meanwhile, place 1/2 of the bag of popcorn in a microwave-safe bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 of the chopped chocolates, 1/2 of the teddy grahams (if desired) and a few mini marshmallows.Remove melted peanut butter from microwave and stir.
4. Drizzle 1/2 of the mixture over the popcorn and chopped chocolate in the bowl. Repeat the layers of popcorn/chopped chocolate/teddy grahams/marshmallows/drizzled peanut butter. Place bowl in microwave and heat until chopped chocolate has softened up a bit (about 10-15 seconds). Remove, sit back, and enjoy.
5. *Note: can make process even easier by substituting dark or semisweet chocolate chips in place of chopping the miniature Dove dark chocolates. Also, can add things like candy corn, colored M&M's, Reeses Pieces, etc to make recipe Holiday-friendly-- have fun with it!

Ok.... this is a sin, but so worth it!!! I just make two changes, OK three but there great. I doubled the peanut butter and chocolate, added a half stick of salted butter and then after drizzling on the popcorn this way most of the popcorn was coated THEN... place it the whole thing in a even layer on my cookie sheet and put it in freezer for 15 minutes. :) DEVILISH!!! This should be a monthly must for all women! Ok, guys can have some too :) But really great snack, Oh, and i added salty peanuts! Thanks for this craving buster. OK I gotta go cuz i'm having the feeling again...GOTTA MAKE MORE ! Fantastic.
