Peanut Butter Popcorn Bars
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 or apricots and cranberries all work a treat. Drizzle some melted chocolate over the top before setting for something fun!
