Measuring Cups

Microwave-Safe Bowl

Microwave

Line two large, rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Place peanut butter chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on MEDIUM (50%) for 90 seconds; stir. If necessary, microwave an additional 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, until chips are melted and smooth. Stir in salt.

Place popcorn, peanuts and toffee bits in a large bowl, drizzle with melted peanut butter chips; gently stir to coat. Spread the popcorn out in a thin layer onto the prepared baking sheets.

Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM (50%) power for 30 seconds; add an additional 15 seconds at a time, stirring until chips are melted and smooth.

Drizzle melted chocolate evenly over the popcorn. Let stand for at least 4 hours or until completely dry. Break into large chunks. Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 3 days.
