Honey Popcorn

After a long weekend of eating way too many treats, I decided to cut back on my sugar... for a few days. I enjoy sugary treats, a lot, notice how desserts dominate this blog.  So, I gave myself two "cheat" foods: honey and homemade raspberry jam.  Unlike chocolate these are food I won't eat by the pound.

With a fresh batch of salsa I was doing pretty well not craving sugar until last night.  I really wanted caramel popcorn.  Thank you internet for the following idea, I never would have thought of it on my own.

Honey Popcorn
Lots of popcorn
equal amounts honey and butter melted and mixed (I did about 1 TBSP each, but would probably do less next time.)

Pour the honey mixture over the popped popcorn and mix well.  A little salt makes it taste similar to kettle corn.  Enjoy your sweet-and not too unhealthy- treat.

Sorry no picture, I ate it all before thinking about taking one, just imagine popcorn with a light honey glaze...Mmm, yummy!
