Tips:

  • Use fresh popcorn: Stale popcorn will result in bars that are tough and chewy.

  • Use a good quality peanut butter: The better the peanut butter, the better the bars will taste.
  • Don't skimp on the butter: Butter adds richness and flavor to the bars.
  • Press the bars firmly into the pan: This will help them hold together better.
