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.

Stumbled upon your blog looking for a dairy free popcorn treat. Added cinnamon and we loved it! Next time I will try crunchy popcorn with maybe some chocolate drizzled over the top.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Haha!! Thanks! Glad you like it!
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
Haha! Glad you’re enjoying it!
Awww, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it so much!
They would, but it would be sticky!
I came across this recipe trying to find an alternative for hard caramel. I was wondering if this mixture would set hard in the fridge?
No, sorry.
Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!!! This is so good! I was thinking of adding peanuts to it , like Cracker Jax!
Oh ya! That would be good!
I’m so thankful I remembered this recipe when I had a craving for something sweet this week! It took no time to put together, and it was very good! It wasn’t exactly the taste I expected, but I did enjoy it very much, and I’m sure I’ll make it again!
I had no idea u could pop corn in the microwave w.just a paper lunch bag! Where does one find unprocessed corn, everything i read says corn is the most processed food we eat. Id love 2 try this recipe!
If you purchase organic kernels, you’re fine. Enjoy!
This was absolutely delicious!
The most important step is to remove the un-popped kernels (I learned the hard way)!
Sarah – Ouch! I hope you’re okay!
Hello, I am looking forward to making this to take camping with me but I wanted to give you a heads up that I ve seen a couple of your pictures on pinterest representing spam/malware. I clicked on one today that almost took me to a malicious sight.
Patricia – Do you have the URL for that pin?
This is a great idea! I’m going to make some right now, right after before hitting the movie theatre. However, I’ve heard that it is not recommended to boil the honey, as it loses its nutritional value. So, I’ll try just to heat it up a little. Also I think adding chia/flax seeds to it is not a bad idea. Thanks for the recipe!
Natasha – Let me know how it turns out!
My updates: It was literally THE BEST popcorn I have ever tried! and knowing that is it healthy made it even better:-)
Few things: For some reason popcorn got wet and sticky, so sticky that you can probably through it to the ceiling and it will stick to it. But it was a bummer that it turned out wet..any ideas why?
I heat the honey with chia seeds and pour it all over the already popped (but still warm) popcorn. Mixed it all together. Where was the mistake?
Natasha – This is a sticky recipe. The honey makes it wet as does the melted peanut butter. You can mix in more popcorn to help with that. Not sure if the chia seeds had any effect or not. Glad you enjoyed it though!
It is SO good! My 11yo and I made it for the rest of the kids, but they’ll be lucky if there is any left when they get home. 🙂
Thanks for the quick, yummy treat!!
Liz – Haha! That’s wonderful! 🙂
Great recipe! Thank you so much. My only questions are: is it supposed to be so sticky? Does it ever firm up? Did I not boil the honey right?
Joanne – It is sticky. There’s just no way around that I’m afraid. But glad you liked it! 😀
