Honey Caramel Popcorn

This is a very quick and easy snack to make for the family or to take to a party. Everyone loves this and it seems there is never enough so you might want to double this recipe.


Ingredients
2/3 cup popcorn kernels
1 cup honey
1 cup real butter
1 tsp vanilla
dash salt

Directions
Pop popcorn in a hot air popper. Set aside in a large bowl.

Heat honey and butter until melted. Continue to cook over medium-high heat until mixture boils.

Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook until the soft ball stage. Check by dropping a small spoonful of caramel into a small bowl of ice water. When caramel forms a soft ball upon placing it in the water, remove from heat.

Add vanilla and salt, stir.

Drizzle over popcorn and stir to coat all of the popcorn. Caramel will thicken as it cools, so stir quickly.
