For me, M&M's come in 5 colors - orange, yellow, green, tan, and brown. None of this red and blue stuff. These are the M&M colors of my childhood. Yes, I know red used to be an original color. Call me a fuddy-duddy, but I miss the tan ones.
I thought I'd be able to find them at the M&M World at a nearby mall. They have a wall of candies in virtually every color. Except for tan, as I found out. The purpose of using tan ones was to fit into the fall color scheme I was going for. I had to settle for gold, which was a poor substitute. (picture from gosightsee.com)
Onto the popcorn...OMG, this is so easy to make, and so easy to eat! Hubs and I downed half a batch while watching the "Clash of the Titans" remake. If you're a fairly regular reader, you'll know I have a thing for peanut butter. This a must for any fan of the stuff.
Peanut Butter Popcorn
Adapted from Hot off the Garlic Press
½ c popcorn kernels
½ c creamy peanut butter
½ Tbs butter
Couple handfuls of chocolate candies (like M&M’s®)
Pop the popcorn using your desired method (I do mine in a pot on the stove.) Pour popped corn into a large bowl.
Place peanut butter and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat until melted, about 30-45 seconds. Stir to combine. Drizzle the peanut butter mixture over the popcorn and toss well. Spread popcorn onto a sheet of wax paper and let set. Toss popcorn with chocolate candy and enjoy.
