Reese’s Pieces & Pretzel Popcorn Recipe
12 cups popped popcorn
4 cups mini pretzels (I found these cute pumpkin & bat shaped ones at Walmart)
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups Reese’s Pieces candies
1. In large bowl, combine popcorn & pretzels and set aside.
2. In saucepan, combine sugar, honey & corn syrup. Bring to boil; cook & stir for 2 minutes.
3. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla. Pour over popcorn/pretzel mixture until thoroughly coated.
4. Pour into two parchment lined 9×13 pans.
5. Bake mixture, uncovered at 250 degrees for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
6. After the 30 minutes are up, gently mix in the Reese’s Pieces candies and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
7. Break into clusters and allow to cool completely. Store in airtight container.

That popcorn concoction sounds AMAZING, and I’m LOVING the new site design!!!
This looks so yummy! Love the idea of adding in pretzels.
Thank you for sharing this….i’ll be making it for my girlfriends on a craft night! I was noticing there was no peanut butter measurement amount given……but in the directions it says to add peanut butter…..how much peanut butter do we add? I’m super excited about this, your photos just make me want to grab a piece! Again, thank you-kimmie
Kimmie, So sorry! Not sure how I missed putting that in! It’s 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter and I’ve fixed it in the post now. Thanks for letting me know and you’re going to love it! 🙂
thank you, thank you! Going to make it tomorrow!!!! YIPEEEEE!
So dumb question, 12 cups of popcorn are you using microwave popcorn or popping the kernelsand how many will this feed? Thank you
Hi,
I would like to pin this in Pinterest. Have you pinned it?
Yes! If you hover over the photo a “PIN IT” button should appear in the upper right hand corner to make it easy for you to pin it as well!
Finger looking good! (just go with it)
I have some Reese’s obsessed friends would go nuts for this. I’ll just eat my carrots in the corner and cry. #nomnomnomnom
Hello! I love snacks like this and would like to make it for a class. Can it be made two days in advance or do you think the popcorn would go stale? Thank you!
Not at all! I think you should make it and then put it in an air tight container or zip lock bags and it will be delicious! Thanks for stopping by!
