now, in a microwave safe dish, mix together about 20 marshmallows, 1 stick of butter, and 3/4 cups of brown sugar.

melt it all together in one minute increments in the microwave. stir between each minute. once it is melted and smooth, you are ready to add in 1/4 cup peanut butter.

with the mixture still hot and smooth, pour it over your popcorn and stir, stir, stir. you can only imagine how quickly something as sticky as peanut butter and marshmallows could turn into a hard mess. yours won't. i have faith in you. now, go ahead and taste how utterly delicious this popcorn is. if you're feeling overtly thankful or jolly, go forth and share.
