Do you remember learning how to make basic food items as a kid? I distinctly remember mastering mac n’ cheese and making stove top popcorn. My Grandma taught me at a fairly young age and I never went back to bagged microwave popcorn again. I’ve always loved a good salty bowl especially on a movie night but over the last 5 years or so, Amy’s popcorn changed my preferences for more of a sweet salty bag. This recipe is much like puppy chow which was also a recipe I remember making and devouring before I knew how to eat right…or cared. It’s a definitely a treat.

- Heat the chocolate chips, peanut butter and ½ T coconut oil in a microwave safe dish or on the stove to melt for about 2 minutes, stopping halfway to stir.
- Pour the melted chocolate peanut butter over the popcorn and stir well.
