Ingredients

10-12 cups Air-Popped Popcorn
½ cup Butter
1 cup Sugar
½ cup Karo Syrup
⅓ cup Water
5 oz Mini Marshmallows or about 3 cups
1 cup Peanut Butter creamy

Instructions

Place air-popped popcorn into a large bowl being careful to remove the unpopped kernels. Set aside.
In a large nonstick saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the sugar, Karo syrup, and water. Bring to a boil while stirring and cook until the syrup mixture reaches 235-240 degrees F on a candy thermometer (about 4-5 minutes).
Remove from heat, add the marshmallows, and stir until they are completely melted. Next, add the peanut butter and stir again until smooth.
Pour the peanut butter coating over the popped corn. Stir until the popcorn is evenly coated.
Spread the peanut butter popcorn onto a parchment lined or lightly greased baking sheet and allow to cool completely at room temperature.
Once cooled, break into smaller pieces and serve in individual cups or a large bowl. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
