Start by popping your popcorn kernels or using pre-popped paleo-friendly popcorn, and measure out 8 cups.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine honey, almond butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Stir continuously while the mixture heats up, making sure everything blends smoothly.
Once all ingredients are well combined, turn off the heat and stir in the coconut oil until fully melted and incorporated.
Pour the warm honey mixture over the popcorn in a large mixing bowl, stirring gently to evenly coat all popcorn pieces.
Once the popcorn has cooled enough to handle but is still warm, quickly shape the mixture into balls using your hands. If sticky, lightly grease your hands with coconut oil.
Place the popcorn balls on parchment paper to set and cool completely before serving.
Enjoy your wholesome and paleo-friendly popcorn balls as a treat or snack!
