Recipe Tips
- Popcorn. Feel free to use microwave popcorn, stove top, air popped or even store bought popcorn. Any of these options will work for this recipe.
- Remove any kernels. Make sure to remove any unpopped kernels of the popcorn. You will need to remove the popcorn kernels before you pour the honey butter mixture over the popcorn.
- Butter. You can use unsalted or plain butter depending on your preference. If you love the combination of salty and sweet, I would use salted butter.
- Serve warm. This recipe is best served warm. We suggest serving it right away once you make it.
