Instructions

  • Place 8 cups popped popcorn and 2 cups Reese's Puff Cereal in a large bowl; remove any unpopped kernels and set the bowl aside.
  • Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  • In a small saucepan combine 1 cup honey and 1 cup sugar. Heat over medium, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.
  • Once boiling, let the mixture boil for 1 minute, then remove the pan from the heat.
  • Immediately stir in 1 cup peanut butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and combined.
  • Pour the peanut butter mixture evenly over the popcorn and cereal. Use a large spatula or wooden spoon to gently stir and coat the popcorn and cereal evenly.
  • Spread the coated mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet and allow it to cool at room temperature until it is no longer hot and has firmed up.
  • Melt 2 ounces melting chocolates (such as almond bark) according to the package instructions. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled popcorn mixture.
  • Sprinkle 1 cup Reese's Pieces candy evenly over the drizzled chocolate; press very gently so some candy adheres.
  • Let the chocolate set completely, then transfer the mix to an airtight container for storage.
