Halloween Peanut Butter Popcorn Munch -- Plus ALDI giveaway!
This post has been sponsored by ALDI. All opinions here, however, are my own.
Here's a spooky yet easy recipe to try at your next Halloween party! Halloween Peanut Butter Popcorn Munch features award-winning SimplyNature Organic Creamy Peanut Butter from ALDI -- which, by the way, is darn tasty and contains just organic peanuts and sea salt, with no added sugars or oils.
SimplyNature organic creamy peanut butter is one of a number of ALDI products awarded the 2016 Parent Tested Parent Approved Seal of Approval, and after tasting the peanut butter and looking at the ingredients, I think this award is well deserved. 🙂
I recently had the opportunity to put a spooky spin on SimplyNature organic peanut butter with a fun Halloween party recipe, so why not give this easy five ingredient Halloween Peanut Butter Popcorn Munch a try at your own gathering this year? Note: You can also optionally substitute your own healthier mix-in of choice for the Halloween sprinkles I used here.
Halloween Peanut Butter Popcorn Munch
Ingredients
7-8 cups SimplyNature organic lightly salted pre-popped popcorn
⅓ cup honey
½ cup SimplyNature organic creamy peanut butter
½ teaspoon vanilla
¼ cup various Halloween sprinkles
Directions
Pour popcorn into a large bowl. Bring honey to a rolling boil in a small pot over medium heat (will boil very quickly!) and let it bubble for about 30 seconds. Turn off heat and quickly stir in peanut butter and vanilla. Pour the honey peanut butter mixture over popcorn, add sprinkles, and toss to coat. Let cool and serve in individual Halloween-themed muffin tin cups or use to fill goodie bags.
That's it!
This easy Halloween-themed peanut butter popcorn treat is both gluten free and dairy free, and offers a fun twist on the more traditional popcorn balls.

I am going to have to try the popcorn! My 1st grader LOVES popcorn and I'm guessing the ALDI version will be a better value than the other brands he likes me to get.
I shop at Aldi all the time, but have never tried the Simply Nature brand product. I've put all the ingredients for this Popcorn Munch recipe on my list, and I will be trying them!!
I like the Organic Maple Spice Instant Oatmeal
We have tried the Simply Nature broth and Ketchup. We look forward to trying out others.
My favorite SimplyNature product is the Blue Corn Tortilla Chips!
Salsa!! fingers crossed 🙂
We love the popcorn!
I use SmplyNature broths all the time. There is a low sodium variety. I look forward to trying the nut butters and salsa now. I love that Aldi is expanding it's products to include so many with simpler ingredients. Also, have you ever noticed that you cannot leave Aldi in a bad mood? Good prices, friendly shoppers and a fast shopping experience make it a great store.
I love the Simply Nature frozen berries for my morning smoothies.
Can't wait to try this out. Sounds like this brand is a winner!
