No-Bake Peanut Butter Popcorn Treats

This no-bake dessert really should come with a warningit'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.
