These popcorn snack bars are perfect for on-the-go, hiking, camping or enjoy one after a workout. The recipe is courtesy of Popcorn.org and will make approximately 12 bars. I personally would wrap each bar individually to make them grab-n-go snacks or you could place all of the bars in a storage container.
Prep time is 20 minutes, baking time is 30 minutes. Here’s the recipe.
