Ingredients

• 2 cups popped popcorn
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup crushed peanuts (optional)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the popped popcorn and peanut butter. Mix well until the popcorn is evenly coated.
2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until the mixture becomes thick and sticky.
3. Using your hands, roll tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture into truffle shapes. Place the truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and vegetable oil together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and melted.
5. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Use a fork to lift it out, allowing the excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated truffles back onto the baking sheet.
6. If desired, sprinkle crushed peanuts on top of the truffles before the chocolate sets.
7. Refrigerate the truffles for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
8. Once the chocolate has set, remove the truffles from the refrigerator and serve. Enjoy!
