Reese's Popcorn Munch

Reese's cups are our all time favorite candy around this house, so I thought it was only fitting that I made Reese's Popcorn Munch to give as party favors for our annual Christmas party we host each year.  The party was last night and we had so much fun hanging out with friends and family :)






















The recipe is super easy.  I used our air popper to make the popcorn with 1/3 cup of unpopped popcorn.
You can microwave the chips, but I prefer to melt them in a glass bowl over a pan of hot water.  I don't have to worry as much about them burning that way.

This popcorn munch is so, so good!! 
I put mine in clear cellphane bags so you can see all that chocolate, peanut butter goodness, but you could also put it in a cute tin or popcorn box to give to neighbors or other special friends.























Reese's Popcorn Munch

6 cups popped popcorn
1 bag of mini Reese Cups, cut in half (not the ones in wrappers)
1 cup Reese's pieces candy
1 cup Reese's Puff cereal
1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted with 1 tsp. shortening
1/4 cup peanut butter chips, melted with 1 tsp. shortening
1/4 cup chocolate chips, melted with 1 tsp. shortening

Mix popcorn, reese's cups, and cereal in a large pan lined with waxed paper. Drizzle with melted white chocolate and toss until everything is coated. Sprinkle with the reeses pieces. Place pan in refrigerator and let set for about 5 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator and break into chunks. Drizzle with the melted peanut butter and melted chocolate chips. Let set again. Spoon munch into a clear cellophane bag and tie with ribbon for an instant homemade treat gift.
