Sticky Caramel Popcorn Recipe
This healthy caramel popcorn recipe was a gift from heaven….or rather, from Australia. (One and the same???)
One of my Facebook fans, Dani, bless her heart, was kind enough to share this with me, and all of you!!
Everyone needs to thank this woman because this is some seriously good popcorn!!
Though I must admit that after testing this recipe (a few times…. ehem!), I think I need to do another No-Sugar challenge. But first, I gotta finish this bowl of popcorn…
Join me? I promise, it’s a worthwhile splurge. Perfect for a movie night with the family!

Ingredients
- ¼ cup almond butter (or peanut butter if you prefer that flavor)
- ½ cup honey
- 10 cups air-popped popcorn
Instructions
- Read through the steps first. You’ll need to work quickly.
- In a small pot, warm the honey on high heat. Bring it to a boil.
- Let it boil up in the pot about 1 inch and then quickly remove from heat.
- Stir in nut butter with a whisk and whisk until smooth. Should be “pourable”.
- Pour over the popcorn and mix with a spoon. The mixture is hot, so don’t be tempted to mix with your hands. I learned that the hard way (Duh!!).
- Let it all sit and cool. To me, it tastes better cold. But that could just be me.

I’m new to this clean eating. Is peanut butter clean? And if so are there certain brands that I should look for? I live in a small town and we don’t have a whole foods or anything like that around.

Just answered my own question from your site!
Sarah – Great! Glad you found your answer! 😀
Crazy Question: This would be a great snack for a beach trip! Any idea on on long you could store this popcorn in tupperware or freezer bags maybe?
Kirbi – You want to eat this as fresh as possible. But if you have to make it ahead of time, I would store it in an air-tight container and keep it in the fridge until you go.
Popping the popcorn in a brown lunch bag is a great idea!! I never knew you can do that. I can’t wait to try this.
Purplerocks – Great! I hope you enjoy it! 🙂
Do you have to use the nut butter? I’m really not a fan of nuts 🙁
Liane – It’s kinda the base of the recipe, so ya. But give my Kettle Corn a try. You might enjoy that more. 🙂
Can u make this ahead of time? If so how long will it keep? (Having a birthday party and would like to make it the night before…Tia!)
Dani – I don’t recommend this one for making ahead. I think a better option would be my kettle corn recipe. https://www.thegraciouspantry.com/clean-eating-kettle-corn/
Thanks for a great recipe and thank Dani for sharing this! My whole family loves it and also my dogs!
John – Fantastic! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! 😀
I added a sprinkle of cayenne and a pinch of salt to mine while mixing and it was AMAZING! A nice kick with the sweet.
Astrid – Oh yum!!! That wounds wonderful!
Looking forward to trying this out! Im going to the drive in tonight and im due to get gastric sleeve in less than three months. I already eat very clean but its the wanting to snack when going out thats more my issue so definitely packing this up with me to go!
Camille – I hope you enjoy it! 🙂
