Ingredients
  • 8 cups Air-popped popcorn (about 1/3 cup kernels)
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 4 teaspoons Margarine
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. 2
    Lightly spray a jelly-roll pan or baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. 3
    In a small saucepan, combine the honey, margarine, and ground cinnamon over low heat.
  4. 4
    Stir gently until the margarine is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  5. 5
    Place the air-popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl.
  6. 6
    Pour the warm honey-cinnamon mixture evenly over the popcorn.
  7. 7
    Toss the popcorn carefully with a spoon or spatula to ensure every piece is coated.
  8. 8
    Spread the coated popcorn in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet.
  9. 9
    Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, stirring gently twice during baking to prevent burning.
  10. 10
    Remove from oven when the coating is golden brown and looks crackled.
  11. 11
    Let the popcorn cool on the pan for 5 minutes; the coating will crisp as it cools.
  12. 12
    If the popcorn is still soft after cooling, return it to the oven for 5 to 8 additional minutes.
