Yummy
I just made these for some youngsters and I think they will enjoy. My magic hard sauce did not get hard so they are going to be a mess to eat. I popped the popcorn and lightly salted. The popcorn did not stay crisp, as others mentioned. I like to hear from folks whose popcorn did stay crisp, though.
I love them, but how long can you keep them? There is just my hubby and me, and we can’t eat these every day. How long will they last. Hope someone can answer. I don’t know if they could be frozen or not. I doubt it
Hard to cut and even harder to eat. Popcorn gets really spongy, not crispy.
So good, so easy! Just like rice krispy treats but with popcorn & peanut butter! My hubby loved them! I brought them to a firepit night at a friends house & a few days later made them again for an after dinner treat! Just watch out for kernels!!
I’m not really a peanut butter fan, but this recipe looked so easy and intrigued me, so I decided to give it a try. I did popcorn balls and they’re delicious. A wonderful fall treat! And yes, the recipe was super easy.
Loved this recipe, my granddaughter was in from NC and we made these…her part was the chocolate drizzle, even my son (her dad) loved them! Thanks Katielee!
I decided to try this recipe after watching Katie Lee make it. It looked so simple and fun and that was exactly what I experienced! I took it over to parents house for our Sunday family dinner and it was a hit! I can’t wait to try this next time with my 5 year old daughter for a fun fall treat!
So delicious!!! Easy to make too!!
Thank you Katie Lee for this great recipe to make with my 8 yr old daughter! It was quick, easy & yummy!!
