Ingredients

6 cups popped popcorn about ⅓ cup popcorn kernels
¼ cup dairy-free chocolate chips
¼ cup creamy peanut butter or favorite nut butter
½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Pop the popcorn, remove any unpopped kernels, and place in a large bowl.
In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt the chocolate and peanut butter together until creamy. Chocolate is sensitive, so take care not to burn it.
Remove from heat, stir in popcorn, and mix until all the popcorn is well coated. Pour the coated popcorn back into the large bowl and allow to cool to room temperature. You want it to firm up a bit, but not harden.
Once fully cooled, add the powdered sugar and toss to coat. (Don't add this too soon, or the chocolate coating will get messy!)

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to one week for a delicious snack!
This is like a popcorn version of puppy chow—a great gluten-free puppy chow option! But feel free to swap cereal for popcorn to go back to the classic.
