Notes

Tips & Tricks

- A large bowl makes the stirring process easier and less messy.

- Be ready to stir quickly once the spicy honey sauce gets drizzled on the popcorn. As it cools it will stay in place and not spread.

Storing Popcorn

Be sure the popcorn has cooled completely, or else it will produce condensation and become soggy. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.
