This easy honey caramel corn recipe is sure to become a new fall favorite on your homestead!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unpopped popcorn kernels
  • 1/2 cup butter or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup honey (I love this raw honey)
  • 1/2 cup sucanat OR brown sugar (where to purchase sucanat)
  • Pinch sea salt (I use this one)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

  1. 1

    Pop the popcorn and place it in a large bowl (something like this is great).

  2. 2

    I always grab a bigger bowl than I think I’ll need, as it makes the mixing/tossing easier.

  3. 3

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter, sucanant, honey, and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook/stir for around 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove from the heat and stir in the baking soda and vanilla. It will foam up a bit, but that’s OK. Simply stir it back down.

  5. 5

    Working quickly, pour the caramel sauce over the popcorn.

  6. 6

    Using a wooden spoon, mix and stir the sauce into the popcorn. You’ll want to move in a timely manner here, as the sauce will begin to thicken/harden and we want to make sure we have full popcorn coverage before that happens.

  7. 7

    Either set aside to harden/cool for a bit and eat when desired OR bake.

  8. 8

    To bake: spread onto baking sheets, bake at 250 degrees for 30-45 minutes, checking and stirring frequently.
