RECIPE: Popcorn Squares, A Whole Grain Alternative to Rice Krispie Treats
|
These popcorn squares from Popcorn.org are a crunchy companion to yesterday’s popcorn ice cream. They’ve got just the right amount of sweetness to satisfy, plus popcorn, a whole grain. While they’re appropriate munching for the Golden Globes or Academy Awards, they’re also good picnic fare. Ingredients For 12 Squares |

Press candy corn into the top when the pan comes out of the oven, before the squares are cool enough to slice. Candy corn will melt in the oven. M&Ms and chocolate chips do melt in the oven but solidify again as they cool. Preparation 1. COMBINE corn syrup, sugar, brown sugar and peanut butter in a large saucepan. 2. BRING to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly; boil 2-3 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat. 3. COMBINE popcorn and raisins in large bowl; pour hot mixture over popcorn and toss carefully with wooden spoons to mix until well-coated. 4. SPRAY a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray; press popcorn mixture into pan and cool completely. 5. CUT into squares and serve.
