How to Make Honey Sesame Popcorn

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1/2 cup honey, and 1/4 cup sesame seeds. Stir constantly until the honey is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add 6 cups of popcorn kernels to the saucepan. Cover and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the popping slows significantly.
Remove from heat and carefully pour the popcorn into a large bowl. Toss gently to coat all the popcorn evenly with the honey-sesame mixture.
While still warm, sprinkle with 1/4 cup of your favorite sprinkles (optional). Let cool completely before serving.
