Ingredients

8 cups Air-popped popcorn
2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
1/3 cup Splenda Granulated Sweetener
2 tablespoons Honey
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Prepare 8 cups of air-popped popcorn and set it aside in a large, heatproof bowl.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.

Step 3

Stir in the Splenda Granulated Sweetener and honey until the mixture is well combined and starts to bubble gently.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 6

Immediately pour the syrup over the popcorn and quickly toss to coat all the kernels evenly. Use a spatula or spoon to ensure even coverage.

Step 7

Spread the coated popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and allow it to cool and set for 10-15 minutes.

Step 8

Break apart clumps if necessary and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
