A deliciously sweet and spiced snack, Honey Cinnamon Butter Popcorn combines freshly popped corn with a luscious blend of melted butter, pure honey, and warm cinnamon, lightly seasoned with salt for a perfect balance of flavors.
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 and cover with a lid. Wait until popping slows down to about 2 seconds between pops, then remove from heat to prevent burning.
- Prepare Honey Cinnamon Butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until it becomes bubbly but does not brown. Stir in the honey and ground cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Toss Together: Transfer the freshly popped corn to a large mixing bowl while still warm. Drizzle the honey cinnamon butter mixture over the popcorn, tossing gently to coat every kernel evenly.
- Season: Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the coated popcorn and toss gently again to combine and enhance the flavors.
- Serve & Enjoy: Scoop the flavored popcorn into bowls or snack bags and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh popcorn kernels for optimal popping and better texture.
- Be careful not to overheat the butter so it doesn’t brown and change the flavor.
- Adjust the cinnamon and honey quantities to your preferred sweetness and spice levels.
- Serve immediately to avoid the popcorn becoming soggy.
- This snack can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days but is best enjoyed fresh.
