Ingredients
Scale
Popcorn
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
Honey Cinnamon Butter
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup pure honey
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Pop the Corn: Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the popcorn kernels, cover with a lid, and wait as the kernels begin to pop. Continue cooking until the popping slows to a few seconds between pops, then remove from heat to prevent burning.
- Prepare Honey Cinnamon Butter: In a small saucepan set over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until it becomes bubbly but does not brown. Stir in the pure honey and ground cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Toss Together: Transfer the freshly popped popcorn to a large mixing bowl while it is still warm. Drizzle the warm honey cinnamon butter mixture evenly over the popcorn, gently tossing to coat every piece thoroughly.
- Season: Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the coated popcorn to enhance the flavors. Toss gently again to distribute the salt evenly throughout the popcorn.
- Serve & Enjoy: Scoop the sweet and spiced popcorn into bowls or snack bags. Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious homemade treat!
Notes
- Use unsalted butter to better control the saltiness of the final product.
- If you prefer your popcorn crunchier, let it cool on a lined baking sheet before serving.
- Adjust honey and cinnamon amounts for sweetness and spice preference.
- Store leftover popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Make sure to monitor the butter carefully to avoid browning and altering the flavor.
