Serves 9

9 cups air-popped popcorn
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons reduced-fat peanut butter
2 tablespoons I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Light Margarine

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place popped popcorn in a very large bowl. In a small saucepan, melt peanut butter and margarine over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Drizzle melted mixture over popcorn. Mix well to coat. Spray large baking sheet or jelly roll pan with butter-flavored cooking spray. Evenly spread popcorn mixture in pan. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes.

HINT: Usually a full 1/2 cup unpopped corn makes about 9 cups popped popcorn, if prepared in an air popper.
