Ingredients:

- 10-11 cups freshly popped popcorn  

- For the Peanut Butter Sauce:  

  - 1 cup honey  

  - 2/3 cup granulated sugar  

  - 1 cup creamy peanut butter  

  - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract  

- 1-2 cups Reese's pieces (optional)

Instructions:

1. Pop the Corn:  

   Start by popping your popcorn and adding it to an extra-large mixing bowl. Set it aside while you prepare the peanut butter sauce.

2. Make the Sauce:  

   In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey and sugar, stirring well. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for 2 minutes, making sure to stir continuously to prevent burning.

3. Add the Peanut Butter:  

   Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the creamy peanut butter until smooth and well combined. Add the vanilla extract and stir again.

4. Coat the Popcorn:  

   Slowly pour about half of the warm peanut butter sauce over the popcorn, and gently stir to coat. If you'd like a more indulgent coating, drizzle more sauce until you reach your desired level (you may not need all the sauce).

5. Add Reese’s Pieces (Optional):  

   Sprinkle in Reese's pieces for an extra burst of peanut butter and chocolate goodness. 

6. Cool and Serve:  

   Allow the popcorn to cool for a few minutes before serving, and enjoy!
