When we say Calabrian Hot Honey works with almost any recipe, we mean it! Here at the Wholesale Italian Food test kitchen, we wanted to give you a new recipe that was easy to follow and also delicious! We wanted to incorporate our Hot Honey into a great snack, our chef came up with her favorite recipe from her childhood. Taking a new spin on sticky popcorn clusters, we added that sweet heat that makes this dish shine. With only seven ingredients our Calabrian Hot Honey Sticky Popcorn Bunches are a great treat for parties, events and to eat on your couch on a Friday night. We don't judge. 

 

Ingredients: 


  • •   1 cup Calabrian Hot Honey
  • •   1 cup Coconut Oil (divided into 1/3 cup and 1/4 cup)
  • •   1/2 cup Popcorn kernels 
  • •   1 tsp Salt
  • •   1/4 tsp Baking soda
  • •   1 tsp vanilla extract
  • •   1 cup of your favorite nuts (like almonds or peanuts! We used almonds for this recipe)

 

Instructions: 


  • •   Preheat the oven to 250 and line 2 sheet pans with parchment or foil
  • •   Using a large pot, heat 1/4 cup of coconut oil until it melts. Add the popcorn kernels and cook over medium heat. We recommend putting a lid on the pot to prevent any pieces from popping out! 
  • •   Heat until all the kernels have popped then move off the burner. 
  • •   Add your nut of choice and set aside.
  • •   In your saucepan, add the 3/4 cup of coconut oil and honey. Let coconut oil melt and bring to a boil. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon until bubbling and combined. This should take about 4 minutes. 
  • •   Once combined, remove from heat and add salt, vanilla, and baking soda (and more honey if you'd like!) Stir rapidly as the mixture begins to foam. 
  • •   After combining and mixing fully, quickly add the mixture to the popcorn and nuts and toss to coat.
  • •   Divide your popcorn between the sheet pans and bake for 60 minutes. About every 20-30 minutes, stir the mixture and rotate the sheet pans to make sure it cooks evenly.
  • •   When finished, your popcorn will be a darker color from the honey and also crispy. At this point, you can clump the popcorn together by pressing it together or let it stay separated.
  • •   Cool completely and serve to snack on. You can store the popcorn in an airtight container for about a week.

 

Tips:

  • •   Short on time? You can skip popping your popcorn over the stove by using a bag of microwavable popcorn. We recommend plain popcorn as butter or salted popcorn can get soggy.
