It's no secret that our favorite snack is peanut butter.  We eat it by the spoon full on a daily basis.  So, I was ecstatic when a couple of years ago I stumbled across a fantastic product, PB2.  Normal peanut butter has about 16 grams of total fat while PB2 has 1.5 grams of total fat.  So if you're watching your weight but love peanut butter as much as we do, this is a great option.  Plus, it's a powder which makes it easy to sprinkle on all kinds of stuff.  And another bonus, they have chocolate flavored peanut butter!!  

Ingredients
1 TBS popcorn kernels
1 TBS PB2
1 brown paper bag

Method
Put popcorn kernels in a brown bag and fold over the open end.  Put it in the microwave.  Microwave for 3 minutes and listen for when most of the popping stops.  Each microwave is different, it takes a little over 2 minutes in mine.  Once the popcorn is done sprinkle the PB2 in the bag and shake.  (Unfortunately, I didn't have chocolate PB2.)
