This no-bake dessert really should come with a warning—it's irresistible. I enjoyed a couple of squares and had to send them to work with Christopher. He said I was quite popular that day. I'd suggest popping the corn on the stove in just a bit of canola oil. It takes just a few minutes and has none of the preservatives or waste that microwaved popcorn does. This whole dish, in fact, comes together in minutes.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1-1/2 cup honey
- 1-1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 12 cups popped popcorn, crumbled with your hands into smaller bits
- coarse sea salt (like Maldon)
- 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Lay a piece of parchment paper in a 9×13 baking pan, leaving a couple of inches to hang over the sides. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Stir together butter, peanut butter, honey and cardamom in a saucepan over medium heat until melted. Pour over popcorn in an extra large bowl, and stir to coat well.
- Scrape into the pan, and level quickly with an offset spatula. Sprinkle chips evenly over the top, press gently into popcorn with an offset spatula, and let sit for 4 minutes to melt slightly. Then spread with the offset spatula.
- Let cool, and cut into 30 squares.
Servings: 30
