Ingredients

12 servings

  • 6 cups popcorn, crushed
  • 3 cups brown rice, puffed
  • 1 cup roasted unsalted peanut
  • 2 cups pretzels, crushed, plus more for topping
  • ¾ cup honey
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

  • Line a 9x13-inch (22 x 33) cm baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the popcorn, puffed rice, peanuts, and pretzels.
  • In a small pot over medium-high heat, combine the honey, brown sugar, and salt. Cook until the brown sugar dissolves, stirring frequently to avoid burning, 2–3 minutes. Let the mixture to come to a low boil for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, then remove the pot from the heat.
  • Pour the honey and brown sugar mixture over the popcorn mixture. Using a rubber spatula, stir until the dry ingredients are well coated and beginning to stick together.
  • Once the mixture comes together and has cooled slightly, add ½ cup (85 G) of the chocolate chips, mixing well to incorporate. Some of the chocolate may melt, but that’s okay!
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Using lightly moistened hands, press the mixture into the baking dish in an even layer.
  • Top with the remaining ¼ cup (40 G) chocolate chips and more pretzels.
  • Set aside in a cool place for 1 hour to set, then cut into 12 bars.
  • Enjoy!
