Peanut Butter Cup Popcorn #SundaySupper

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

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.
