Notes
- You can start with a bag of popcorn like I did (any brand or flavor) or pop your own from microwave popcorn or kernels.
- Be sure to use a no-stir brand of peanut butter.
- I prefer using melting wafers (like Ghiradelli candy melts) because they melt better than chocolate chips. Look in the baking aisle with the baking chocoalte).
- Use any kind of dark chocolate chunks or chocolate chips.
