This recipe delivers the ultimate "swalty" snack, combining crunchy popcorn with a buttery, sweet, and spicy kick. It's the perfect treat for a movie night and is incredibly simple to make.
Make the popcorn using your preferred method (air popper, stovetop, or microwave). Once popped, pour it into a very large, heatproof bowl, making sure to remove any unpopped kernels.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the honey, hot sauce, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until it's well combined and slightly thickened.
Immediately and carefully pour the hot honey butter mixture all over the popcorn. Using two spatulas, gently fold and toss the popcorn until it's evenly coated in the glistening glaze.
To avoid sticky popcorn, this step is key! Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Spread the coated popcorn in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring once halfway through. This dries the coating into a hard, crunchy shell. Let it cool completely on the pan before breaking it apart to serve.
