INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup popcorn kernels, popped ~ 14 cups

• 1/2 cup honey

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

• sea salt flakes, optional

DIRECTIONS

Pop kernels if not done already.

Preheat oven to 225°F. Line a sheet pan wiht parchment and set aside.

Heat honey, butter and salt over medium heat until butter is melted. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low to keep the mixture at a low boil for 7-10 minutes, until the temperature reaches 270-280°F.

Remove the honey mixture from the heat and stir in baking soda.

Toss the honey mixture and popcorn; stir until popcorn is coated completely. Spread evenly across the prepared pan.

Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, stirring approximately every 20 minutes. Sprinkle with salt when done, if desired.
