Peanut Butter Popcorn Balls serves 2
From Grandma's Comfort Food Made Healthy

1 tabl. white corn syrup
2 tabl. Peter Pan reduced fat creamy peanut butter
2 tabl. Brown Sugar Twin
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups popped popcorn

In an 8 cup glass measuring bowl, mix corn syrup, peanut butter, Brown Sugar Twin and vanilla extract. Cover and microwave on HIGH (100% power) for 30 - 40 seconds, or until mixture begins to bubble. Stir well to combine. Add popped popcorn. Mix well to coat. Place bowl on a wire rack and let set for 2 - 3 min. Shape popcorn mixture into 2 balls. Cool completely. Wrap each popcorn ball in plastic wrap.

HINTS: 1 tabl. + 1 tsp. unpopped popcorn will bake about 2 cups in an air popper.

2 balls form more easily if you dip your hands in cold water before shaping.
