How to Make Honey Crackle Corn

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the popcorn kernels, vegetable oil, and salt.
  3. Microwave on high for 3-5 minutes, or until popping slows significantly. Be careful, as the bowl will be hot!
  4. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, honey, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  7. Pour the melted butter mixture over the popped popcorn and toss gently to coat evenly.
  8. Spread the popcorn in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 60-70 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes, until golden brown and crunchy.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
