For a richer flavor, use salted butter and add a pinch of sea salt to the peanut butter mixture. If you prefer a less sweet treat, reduce the amount of brown sugar by ¼ cup. To prevent the popcorn from becoming soggy, make sure the peanut butter mixture is evenly distributed and don't overmix. Store the popcorn balls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
