My mom made these peanut butter popcorn balls every Halloween when I was a kid and it was still okay to give out homemade treats. Now I make it as a moist and chewy fall snack. You can make it into balls or leave it loose and serve it like caramel corn if you prefer.
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.67 cups white corn syrup
- 0.25 cups butter
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 20 cups popped popcorn
Instructions

1
Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until mixture comes to a rolling boil. Remove from the heat, add peanut butter, and stir until smooth.

Place popcorn into a large bowl. Pour peanut butter mixture over top and toss until evenly coated. Use buttered hands to form mixture into about 16 balls. Arrange balls on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet and let set for at least 30 minutes.
