MRS. MUELLER'S HONEY POPCORN

Mrs. Mueller's Honey Popcorn image

One of my dearest friends shared her mother's recipe with me for this tasty, lightly honey flavored popcorn. It is very easy and makes for a nice snack, especially enjoyed by children. Please only use freshly popped unseasoned popcorn - this really doesn't work well with the preseasoned microwave popcorn. Prep time assumes you have started with already popped popcorn.

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup butter (4 ounces)
6 cups freshly popped unseasoned popcorn
1 cup shelled peanuts (salted or unsalted, your choice)

Steps:

Heat honey and butter in a small saucepan over fairly low heat until blended, stirring.
Remove from heat and let cool down a bit.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F and line a jelly roll pan or two smaller rimmed cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a very large bowl, combine popped popcorn and nuts, then pour syrup over and combine so everything is evenly covered with syrup.
Spread in one layer into prepared pan (s) and bake about 10 minutes, sitrring after the first 5 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool in pans.
Variation: Use any type of nuts you prefer.

Tips:

Use a large pot with a lid to pop the popcorn. This will help to ensure that the popcorn pops evenly and doesn't burn.
Add the oil and kernels to the pot and heat over medium-high heat. Do not add any salt or sugar at this point, as this can cause the popcorn to burn.
Once the kernels start to pop, shake the pot constantly to prevent the popcorn from burning.
Remove the pot from the heat when the popping slows down. Don't wait until all of the kernels have popped, as this will overcook the popcorn.
Pour the popcorn into a large bowl and let it cool slightly before adding the honey, sugar, and butter.
Stir the popcorn until it is evenly coated with the glaze.
Spread the popcorn out on a baking sheet and bake at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Let the popcorn cool completely before storing it in an airtight container.
