Simple & Delicious No Bake Popcorn Bars

Can we all just stop and agree that popcorn is such an amazing snack. It’s great for a salty snack or super fun when it’s sweet, too. The great thing about these popcorn bars is that you get a little bit of both worlds. The crunch of the popcorn, the sweetness of the chocolate, and the ease of making them in a few short moments of time. 

If you’re ready to create a tasty treat for the kids that you’re going to enjoy as well, this is the one for you. I also love that these are cut into bars and are easy to grab and go as you’re walking by the kitchen!

Fun Suggestions for Popcorn Bars

The other really fun thing about this simple popcorn dessert recipe is that you can change it up to add in whatever ingredients you’d like. While I’m a chocolate girl, why stop there? You can make it taste however you’d like! 

Some other delicious ingredients to consider adding could be:

• Different flavored chocolate chips
• Shredded coconuts
• Sprinkles

And those are just a few. You can even drizzle the top with some melted chocolate or melted caramel as well to really take the flavor out of this world.

How to store popcorn bars

Make certain that you store any leftover popcorn bars in an airtight container for later. If you leave them out and open, the bars will lose a bit of their crunch fast.
