Sweet Honey Butter Popcorn

Cinnamon popcorn drizzled with melted honey butter will leave your tastebuds amazed and ready for more. It’s not overly sweet like caramel corn and is simple to make!

Use regular microwave popcorn, or make your own on the stove top. Both options taste great with the buttery glaze.

Cinnamon on popcorn has been a long-standing tradition in my family, but a while back, my daughter wanted to try it with a drizzle of honey, and the rest is history.

Ingredients

Here’s everything you need to make a batch of this honey butter popcorn! 

  • corn kernels: you’ll need ½ cup of kernels or 2 bags of microwave popcorn.  
  • butter: nothing tastes better than buttered popcorn!
  • honey: makes the popcorn sweet and brings out the butter and cinnamon flavors.
  • cinnamon: a sprinkle of cinnamon goes a long way. 
  • salt: just a pinch to enhance the other flavors!

    If you’re using a bag of popcorn, are these proportions still the same?

    I’m personally not a big fan of the buttered popcorn so I make it with caramel.
