Chocolate popcorn is so addicting.

It’s easy to make. Just melt some chocolate chips and peanut butter together, drizzle, and viola, and you're done! You don't even have to make the popcorn if you don't want. I use ALDI's bagged popcorn, it is the best!

It’s seriously addicting. I think popcorn is addicting in general, so adding chocolate and peanut butter on top of it? Game over.

It has the classic peanut butter and chocolate combo, who doesn’t love that? Seriously if something has chocolate and peanut butter, count me in.

How do you melt peanut butter and chocolate chips in the microwave?

It is so easy to melt chocolate chips and peanut butter together in the microwave.

Add your chocolate chips and peanut butter to a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave for 30 seconds, stir. Microwave for another 30 seconds, stir.
If it still isn't melted fully, continue to microwave for 10 seconds and stir after every 10 seconds.

I ended up having to microwave my chocolate chips and peanut butter for 1 minute and 20 seconds.
