Ingredients
  

1/2 cup popcorn kernels

1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick)

3 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a kick)

Instructions
 

Pop the Popcorn:

    In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the popcorn kernels and cover. Shake the pot occasionally to ensure even popping. Once popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops, remove from heat.

      Make the Honey Cinnamon Butter:

        In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the honey, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and optional cayenne pepper. Continue stirring until well combined and warmed through.

          Combine:

            In a large mixing bowl, pour the freshly popped popcorn. Drizzle the honey cinnamon butter mixture over the popcorn while stirring gently to coat evenly.

              Taste and Adjust:

                Toss the popcorn to ensure all pieces are covered with the sweet cinnamon butter. Taste and adjust salt or sweetness according to your preference.

                  Serve:

                    Serve immediately in large bowls or individual bags for a delightful snack that's perfect for movie night or any gathering!
