6 cups air popped popcorn
1/4 cup honey

Flavour Ideas:

Fleur de Sel
Cinnamon
Cayenne
Chocolate

Instructions

Place popped popcorn in large bowl and set aside. Prepare baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat honey over medium high heat until it simmers. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Drizzle honey over popcorn and toss to coat completely. It's a little bit of work.
Use a large ice cream scoop or your hands to form into balls - if it seems too sticky, let it cool a bit more. You'll have to mash them together a bit to get them to stick. Place formed balls on prepared baking sheet to cool completely.
Sprinkle salt, cinnamon, or cayenne powder on the popcorn balls if desired! I melted 1/8 cup Enjoy Life chocolate chips with a pinch of coconut oil and drizzled over top of my chocolate drizzle ones!
