Ingredients
Before we get started, gather the following ingredients:
– 1 cup of popcorn kernels
– 1 cup of chocolate chips (milk or dark chocolate, depending on your preference)
– 1/2 cup of peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, whichever you prefer)
– 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
– Optional: a pinch of salt for added flavor
Instructions
Now that you have all the ingredients ready, let’s move on to the fun part – making Monkey Munch!
1. Pop the popcorn: In a large pot, heat a few tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the popcorn kernels and cover the pot with a lid. Once the kernels start popping, shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning. Once the popping slows down, remove the pot from the heat and pour the popcorn into a large bowl.
2. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water.
3. Combine the ingredients: Pour the melted chocolate over the popcorn in the bowl. Toss the popcorn gently to ensure that it is evenly coated with chocolate. Sprinkle the peanut butter over the chocolate-coated popcorn and mix well.
4. Add powdered sugar: Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the mixture and gently fold it in. You can add a pinch of salt at this stage if you prefer a salted version.
5. Shape the Monkey Munch: Using your hands, take small handfuls of the mixture and roll them into balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Chill the Monkey Munch: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the Monkey Munch to set and harden.
7. Serve and enjoy: Once the Monkey Munch is firm, remove it from the refrigerator and serve as a tasty snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
Now that you know how to make Monkey Munch, you can enjoy this delightful snack whenever you want. It’s perfect for movie nights, parties, or as a quick and satisfying treat during a busy day. Happy snacking!
