I love today’s post. Not that I don’t love every post I do… I mean… It’s just today’s post involves peanut butter cups and Our Best Bites. I met Kate last year at an event we both went to for Smucker’s… I totally adore her. Well, she and her partner Sara have just released their second book…Savoring the Seasons… I was lucky enough to get a copy and have had a few weeks to play with some of the recipes. The book is so great, filled with lots of pictures, great (everyday AND special occasion) recipes and it’s all categorized by season! They’ve included great tips throughout and did I mention all the pictures? Love a cookbook with gorgeous photos! When I was flipping through the pages I completely zoned in on one recipe. Which fits me like a Spanx. Peanut Butter Cup Popcorn. Duh. I am pretty sure that a recipe couldn’t better fit me if I’d written it myself! And it’s easy… Let’s do it. Get some honey roasted peanuts… Mix that with some popcorn (their recipe calls for plain, but I used lightly buttered) and also some peanut butter cups. If you can’t find the itty bitty ones, just chop up some Minis…I also kinda-sorta-doubled the amount of pb cups in there. I need rehab. Next just melt some peanut butter chips. I always use the double boiler to melt my chocolate and candy pieces, because I am microwave-impaired. I will burn it every time. But if you have mastered the art of the nuke, by all means… Pour the melted peanut butter chips all over the popcorn, peanut and pb cup mixture. You want every piece coated. No nekkid pieces. Then spread it out on some waxed paper… And give it a little pizzazz… Doesn’t it make you want to weep? GIVEAWAY CLOSED
