The Goods:
\n6 heaping cups organic popped corn
\n\u00bc cup agave nectar or honey
\n\u00bc cup room temperature creamy natural peanut butter or almond butter
\n1\/3 cup pretzels
\n\u00bc cup organic dark chocolate chips
\n2 tablespoons finely chopped dried cherries
\nThe Method:
\n\u2022\tIn small pot, heat chocolate chips on low. Stir until melted completely. Dip pretzels and place on parchment paper. Let cool in freezer for 10 minutes. Take pretzels out of freezer and finely chop.
\n\u2022\tLine a baking sheet with wax (or parchment) paper.
\n\u2022\tGrab a medium bowl and fill with ice water.
\n\u2022\tCombine your honey and peanut butter in a small sauce pan and cook over medium heat. Stir your mixture gently and consistently. When your mix begins to bubble, stir for an additional 15 seconds. Pour the mix evenly over the popcorn and mix softly with a wooden spoon. Mix until popcorn is well and evenly coated. Grab your dark chocolate covered pretzels and chopped cherries and stir them into the mix.
\n\u2022\tNow for the ice water, dip both of your hands into the water and press small handfuls of your popcorn mixture into 2 inch balls. Place the balls on your prepped baking sheet. If you aren\u2019t satisfied and your balls seem a bit fragile, feel free to dunk your hands back into the ice water and squeeze the balls to better keep them together.
\n\u2022\tLet the balls cool completely. Bag your balls in Halloween themed plastic wrap and suddenly you have the perfect goody bag to send home with your party guests!
