Honey Buttered Popcorn


Popcorn is one of my favorite snacks.  It's crunchy, and you can eat a ton of it without feeling guilty.  I like to make my popcorn on the stove top.  It's really quite simple and so much better for you than buying the bagged popcorn with all the additives.  I pour a couple of swirls of olive oil in the bottom of a pot and turn the heat to medium-high.  Let the oil warm up for just a couple of minutes and pour in about 1/4 cup popcorn into the pot.  Cover and shake every few seconds.  Keep it covered and shake every few seconds until the popping has slowed down then take off heat.  Shake around a couple more times and add your toppings.  I've found it's really good this way with just a little bit of salt on it.   When you cook it in olive oil, you don't even need butter.  But....if you want butter...here is a simple, yummy way to eat you popcorn.

Honey Buttered Popcorn:

2 tbsp butter (melted)
2 tbsp honey
salt to taste

Melt butter, add honey and stir until well combined.  Pour mixture on your pop corn, and sprinkle salt.  Stir and taste, add more salt if needed.  Enjoy!
