Sweet Honey Popcorn

Jump to recipe

Last week I already said I recently had a sudden urge to start popping popcorn myself. The first flavor I wanted to try out was honey popcorn. After trying out several recipes I came across Pat Daniels recipe which I adapted slightly to create my perfect honey popcorn.

Making Sweet Honey Popcorn

So here’s what I did…

In a saucepan start melting some butter.

Add your honey and salt and cook on a low heat.

Once the honey, salt and butter are nicely incorporated bring to a boil for one minute and take off the heat.

Pour the honey mixture over the popcorn.

Stir and toss to coat all of the popcorn.

Transfer the coated popcorn to a baking tray lined with baking paper, spread evenly. Put into the oven and bake at 350°F/175°C for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Stir mixture every three or four minutes. Watch the popcorn carefully, it burns easily!

When the popcorn is nice and golden brown like this take it out of the oven and keep stirring the mixture every few minutes. As the mixture cools, the popcorn will get nice and crispy (no sticky honey fingers!).

You will end up with a nice bowl filled with honey popcorn. Doesn’t that look delicious?!

This popcorn deserves a closer look…

Oooh, don’t you just want to eat that right now?!

I can’t stop taking pictures every time I make this delicious honey popcorn…
