This MVPeanut Butter Snickers Popcorn with it's crunchy popcorn, gooey peanut butter, and bits of Snickers is the perfect sweet treat for game day...
Looking for a sweet and salty snack for your tailgating or game day get-together this weekend? I have you covered with my MVPeanut Butter Snickers Popcorn!
This easy dessert that requires no utensils (and hey, even a plate or napkin is optional with this one!) comes together in about 30 minutes and is sure to please even the most hardcore football fans.
The new MARS Snickers Bites makes this popcorn treat come together in a snap since there is no unwrapping of candy bars required. Just dump out the entire bag of unwrapped bites of peanut, nougat, caramel, and milk chocolate onto a cutting board and give them a quick chop!
I am not going to lie to you all. This stuff is seriously addictive. Like the day I made this popcorn, it may have ended up constituting most of my lunch because I couldn't keep my hand out of the bowl. Sweet, salty, chewy, crunchy.... okay, perfect. ;)
Tossing the Snickers Bites in while the peanut butter mixture is still warm is the key. It melts the chocolate and caramel ever so slightly making it stick in delicious little globs to the popcorn that harden after it has cooled...
This is game day dessert perfection right here, folks! :)
