Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Air-popped popcorn
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup Splenda Granulated Sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Prepare 8 cups of air-popped popcorn and set it aside in a large, heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Stir in the Splenda Granulated Sweetener and honey until the mixture is well combined and starts to bubble gently.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the vanilla extract and salt.
Immediately pour the syrup over the popcorn and quickly toss to coat all the kernels evenly. Use a spatula or spoon to ensure even coverage.
Spread the coated popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and allow it to cool and set for 10-15 minutes.
Break apart clumps if necessary and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
