Healthy kids’ party food
Peanut Butter Popcorn Bars
Recipe / Jacqueline Alwill
Kids dive right into these popcorn bars whenever they’re served up and parents don’t often hold back, either. You can use whatever extra dry ingredients you have on hand instead of hemp, chocolate chips or cacao nibs — sultanas, dried apple, apricots or cranberries all work a treat. Drizzle some melted chocolate over the top before serving for something fun!
Serves: 16-20
3 cups cooked popcorn
¼ cup sunflower seeds
¼ cup chocolate chips or cacao nibs
2 tbsp hemp seeds
¾ cup smooth peanut butter
¼ cup honey or rice-malt syrup
Line 20cm × 20cm square cake tin with greaseproof paper.
Place popcorn, sunflower seeds, chocolate chips or cacao nibs and hemp seeds in large mixing bowl and toss to mix.
In small saucepan, gently melt together peanut butter and honey or rice-malt syrup until just a touch runny and combined, stirring together while heating — this should only take a minute or less.
Immediately pour over popcorn bowl and mix together with hands.
Press firmly into lined tin and place in freezer to set for 2 hrs.
Cut into squares and serve from freezer for kids to devour.
