Chocolate Peanut Butter Popcorn

Happy ice day! Only in Duluth do we have shorts weather over the weekend and an ice day the following week. That’s why we love it here, right? ;)
I’ve been trying to pull together some of my kids’ favorite recipes for you. As I’ve said before, I almost make a game of inventing nutritious snacks and meals for my kiddos. Sometimes it’s a failure but not always! This snack is one of their favorites. Ok, you could call it a treat. Whenever you decide to have it, with a movie, for dessert, it’s a sure win. Watch out for sticky fingers when they’re done. This is also a totally acceptable adult snack. I have been known to sit and eat a bowl by myself. Pairs well with Gilmore Girls or your favorite comedy show.
Also...I sometimes substitute the cocoa powder for Chocolate Hemp Protein Powder. Hemp has some pretty awesome health benefits you can read about here.
