Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Popcorn

I saw this recipe on a favorite food blog of mine and couldn't resist.  Anything that incorporates chocolate and peanut butter together in a new way I'm on board.  After tasting this, you will be on board too!

You'll need around 8 cups of popped popcorn.  It was around 3 bags for me.  Place the popcorn in a large bowl and set aside.

Cut up 1 1/2 cups of mini Reese's peanut butter cups in half.

Mix the honey and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.  Let simmer for around 2 minutes then remove from heat.

Add in the peanut butter and stir vigorously until all the peanut butter is melted.  The mix in the vanilla extract.

Immediately pour the peanut butter caramel over the popcorn and gently stir with a wooden spoon until it's all coated.  Spread the popcorn on a baking sheet.

Drizzle popcorn with melted chocolate and let sit until the chocolate hardens.

Then stir in the mini Reese's peanut butter cups. 

This is similar to caramel corn, but two steps better!  If you're looking for a savory sweet dessert that's bound to make everyone happy this is exactly it!
