Peanut and Pretzel Popcorn Balls

Peanut and Pretzel Popcorn Balls

 Ingredients

• 10 cups Popped Popcorn, Un-popped Kernels Removed
• ¾ cups Honey Roasted Peanuts
• 1 cup Pretzel Sticks, Broken Up
• ½ cups Brown Rice Syrup
• ½ cups Peanut Butter
• 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Preparation Instructions

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spray a spatula with non-stick cooking spray; set aside. Lay out a sheet of parchment or waxed paper on your work surface as well.

• In a large bowl add popcorn, peanuts and pretzels. Mix together then set aside. Note: Before adding the popcorn, make sure you have no un-popped popcorn kernels in the mix.

• In a medium sized saucepan, add brown rice syrup, peanut butter, coconut oil and vanilla extract. Over medium heat, stir and bring to a boil. Keep stirring and let it boil for about two minutes. This will be about 8 minutes total heating time time.

• Pour syrup mixture over popcorn and with the prepped spatula mix together until popcorn is covered. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet.

• Spray your hands with cooking spray and grab a chunk of popcorn and squeeze into a ball. Made them a little bigger than a golf ball. You must work quickly before the popcorn cools. Make sure when grabbing popcorn you grab some peanuts and pretzels, as they tend to fall to the bottom.

• Set the balls on the sheet of waxed paper. Let cool completely and serve and enjoy!

• To store, wrap the popcorn balls in plastic wrap and place in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
