Food Recipes Popcorn Bars Be the first to rate & review! This decadent dessert recipe reads like an all-star roster of delicious ingredients—butter, marshmallows, popcorn, pretzels, and peanuts all join together to make addictively crunchy, chewy squares. They’re crowd-pleasing, easy to put together and use regular ingredients that you can find at any grocery store. The combination is flexible, too. Try folding in some potato chips in place of half the pretzels or substitute half a cup of chocolate chips for half the peanuts. The point is, no matter what you do, you’ll end up with a ridiculously tasty treat.
