Butterfinger Popcorn at a Glance
Some people dip their fries in ice cream. Others put potato chips in their sandwiches. Us? We like unique popcorn combinations. Our newest obsession is Butterfinger popcorn. It’s crunchy, peanutty, and dangerously easy to eat by the fistful.
Ready to start popping? Grab your Popper and let’s go:
Butterfinger Popcorn Ingredients
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup chopped Butterfinger bars
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Butterfinger Popcorn Directions
Step 1: Heat
Set your stove to medium heat and let your Popper preheat for 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 2: Add Oil and Kernels
Pour oil into the Popper and drop 2 to 3 kernels. When the first kernel pops, add the rest and cover the pot.
Step 3: Turn
Crank your Popsmith clockwise while the kernels pop to prevent burning.
Step 4: Remove
Take your Popper off the heat and transfer the popcorn to a big bowl.
Step 5: Make Butterfinger Popcorn Coating
Melt chocolate and peanut butter in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring between each. Then stir in salt and add chopped Butterfingers (save some for later).
Step 6: Combine
Drizzle the Butterfinger coating over the popcorn, then use a spatula to evenly coat the kernels. Sprinkle in the rest of the Butterfinger pieces and allow the popcorn to set.
Step 7: Serve
Break your Butterfinger popcorn into clusters and enjoy!
