How to make Twix Peanut Butter Popcorn

Cut Twix Bites in half or cut Twix candy bars into small ¼-inch thick pieces.

Pop 1 bag of  Orville Redenbacher's Naturals Simply Salt Popcorn according to package instructions. Remove un-popped kernels and pour popcorn into a very large mixing bowl.

Melt white confectionery coating. Heat it in the microwave on high power for 1 minute, then stir, and heat on high for 30 seconds. Then allow the candy coating to sit in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Remove bowl and stir. If wafers are not completely melted, heat on high for 10 second increments, stirring after each.

Heat dark cocoa confectionery coating in microwave on high for 15 second increments, stirring after each until melted.

Pour peanut butter chips into bowl of melted white candy coating. Stir, and wait 1 minute, then gently stir again. The chips will melt slightly.

Pour over the popcorn. Toss to stir until all the popcorn is coated. Toss in the Twix Bites.

Pour popcorn onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Spread into a thin layer. Drizzle with the melted dark confectionery coating.

Freeze for 10 minutes or refrigerate for 15 minutes. Break into small pieces.

If you want to store this for more than a day, it's best to keep it in a metal tin. It will stay crunchy and fresh if kept in a tin for up to a month, but I bet it wont last that long.

I'm pretty sure that by the time the movie credits roll tonight this entire batch of popcorn will be gone.
