Dairy-free & Nut-free Sunbutter Cup Popcorn

I’m so excited to be sharing this simple recipe for nut-free and dairy-free Sunbutter Cup Popcorn (think Reese’s Cup Popcorn, without the dairy and nuts).

It is now one of my favorite foods, but if I’m being honest, it took me a while to enjoy eating sunflower seed butter. When my mom first found this peanut butter alternative at Trader Joe’s, I was scared to eat it. What if they accidentally switched this with real peanut butter? It smelled just like peanut butter to me, so how would I know the difference?

It took me a while, with a couple of different recipes and attempts to eat it, but eventually I really came to love it. If you are like me, and cannot have dairy or nuts, you know my protein options are significantly limited.

Sunflower seed butter is a great protein option, and I have really enjoyed creating new recipes with it!

Now, I love to bake, but sometimes I want something that I can whip up without taking an extra trip to the grocery store, or heating up my oven. Sunbutter Cup Popcorn is a perfect dessert to enjoy without having to do either!

I usually have a stash of a couple of Sunbutter Cups in my fridge, but these are not even totally necessary for the recipe (there will be plenty of chocolate and sunflower seed butter without).
