Easy Peanut Butter Popcorn Balls

By Maggster29

Ingredients

• 10 cups air-popped popcorn (from a generous 1/4 cup kernels)
• 2/3 cup honey
• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter, creamy or chunky
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
• 1 cup Uncle Sam Original flaxseed cereal
• 1/2 cup chopped dried cherries or dried fruit of your choice

Preparation

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with wax paper and set aside.

Put the popcorn into a large mixing bowl.

In a heavy, medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the honey, peanut butter, and salt. Stir frequently until it comes to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer 1 minute.

Pour the honey mixture over the popcorn and stir with a silicone spatula. When it’s nearly coated, sprinkle the Uncle Sam cereal and dried fruit over the mixture and stir until combined.

Let the popcorn sit until cool enough to handle, then use lightly greased hands to press firmly into balls. Place balls on paper-lined baking sheet to cool completely.

Store at room temperature in an air-tight container for up to a week
