  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp unrefined sea salt

  4. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and honey and stir over medium heat until melted.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until combined.
  6. Remove saucepan from heat.
  7. Pour half of the mixture over the popcorn in one bowl and half into the other.
  8. Stir to coat all pieces.

Notes
If you cook this popcorn in the oven, the honey and butter caramelize and it tastes a lot like Cracker Jacks. If you like softer popcorn, skip the cooking part and just let it cool on a pan after you’ve stirred in the butter and honey mixture.
