Directions:
1
Watch how to make this recipe
2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and move a rack to the middle of the oven
3
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
4
Heat the oil in large heavy-bottomed pot with a lid over medium heat
5
Add the popcorn kernels and place the lid slightly ajar on top of pot
6
Cook until most of the kernels pop, 7 to 10 minutes (the popping sounds slow down when it's almost done)
7
This will make 10 to 12 cups of popcorn
8
While the popcorn is popping, melt the butter, honey, vanilla and salt in a small saucepan over low heat until the mixture is uniform
9
Transfer the popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet
10
Discard any unpopped kernels that settle at the bottom of the pot
11
Pour the butter mixture evenly over the popcorn
12
Toss the popcorn with two spatulas until coated
13
Bake, stirring every 5 minutes, until the popcorn is a deep caramel color, 20 minutes
14
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and cool for 5 minutes
15
Wearing clean plastic gloves, use your hands to press the popcorn into 2-inch balls
16
Towards the end you may need 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of extra honey to act as the "glue" for the balls
