Ingredients
Scale
Popcorn
- 8 cups air-popped popcorn
Honey Cinnamon Butter Sauce
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Popcorn: Place the air-popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl and set it aside, ensuring it’s ready to be coated evenly.
- Melt Butter and Honey: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and honey together while stirring constantly to prevent burning. Once the mixture is melted and begins to bubble gently, remove the pan from the heat.
- Add Cinnamon and Salt: Stir the ground cinnamon and salt into the warm butter and honey mixture until fully incorporated, creating a flavorful glaze.
- Coat the Popcorn: Immediately pour the warm honey-cinnamon butter mixture over the popcorn. Toss well using a spatula or your hands to ensure all popcorn pieces are evenly coated with the glaze.
- Set the Coating: Allow the coated popcorn to sit for a couple of minutes so the glaze can slightly set. Serve warm for a soft texture or let cool completely for a crispier snack experience.
Notes
- For extra crunchiness, spread the coated popcorn on a baking sheet and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning.
- Store cooled popcorn in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
