Ingredients
  

1/2 cup popcorn kernels

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)

1/4 cup honey

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)

Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts) for added crunch

Instructions
 

Pop the Corn:

    - Start by popping your popcorn kernels. If you're using an air popper, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. If using a stovetop method, heat a large pot over medium heat. Add 2-3 tablespoons of oil and 3 test kernels. Once those pop, add the remaining kernels, cover the pot, and shake gently until popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops. Remove from heat.

      Make the Honey Cinnamon Butter:

        - In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the honey, ground cinnamon, and sea salt until well combined.

          Combine the Ingredients:

            - In a large mixing bowl, pour the freshly popped popcorn. Drizzle the honey cinnamon butter mixture evenly over the popcorn while tossing gently to coat. If you're adding nuts for crunch, sprinkle them in at this stage and mix well.

              Serve:

                - After mixing, allow the popcorn to sit for a few minutes to let the butter cool slightly and set. Serve it warm in bowls or popcorn bags for an authentic movie night feel.

                  Enjoy:

                    - Grab your favorite movie, a cozy blanket, and dive into your deliciously sweet and savory Honey Cinnamon Butter Popcorn!
