Mike and I really have been craving something ultra sweet lately, so we decided to give this recipe a go. I have to admit, I was a little skeptical considering there isn’t actually any caramel! However the sweetness and saltiness of the honey and peanut butter is the perfect, clean snack to satisfy your serious caramel popcorn cravings! It’s also the perfect movie night snack, but watch out; this stuff is so good!
Caramel Popcorn Ingredients
1/4 cup almond butter or natural peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
8-10 cups popped popcorn
Directions
Tip: Read through the steps first so you know what you to. You’ll need to work quickly.
Step 1 – In a small pot, warm the honey on high heat. Bring it to a boil.
Step 2 – Let it boil up in the pot about 1 inch and then quickly remove from heat.
Step 3 – Stir in nut butter with a whisk and whisk until smooth. Should be “pourable”.
Step 4 – Pour over the popcorn and mix with a spoon. The mixture is hot, so don’t be tempted to mix with your hands. I learned that the hard way (Duh!!).
Step 5 – Let it all sit and cool. To me, it tastes better cold. But that could just be me.
Eat and Enjoy!
