Yield about 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
One 10-ounce bag marshmallows
7 to 8 cups lightly salted popcorn, freshly popped or your favorite store brand
One 7.25-ounce bottle hardening chocolate sauce, such as Magic Shell

Steps:

Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Melt the peanut butter and butter together in a medium saucepan over low heat, then stir in the marshmallows. Continue to stir until the marshmallows are melted.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the popcorn to coat evenly in the melted marshmallow mixture. Pour the popcorn mixture into the coated baking dish and spread out into an even layer. Drizzle the popcorn with the chocolate sauce. Allow the popcorn treats to cool for 30 minutes, then cut into bars.
