Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup popcorn kernels
  • Topping:
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar I used Golden Brown
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon all spice
  • ¼ teaspoon cardamom ground
  • ½ teaspoon salt - to sprinkle

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat
  • Use an air popper to pop corn kernels into a large bowl. Choose a bowl big enough to fluff the popcorn in once it has popped.
  • While the kernels are popping measure the remaining ingredients, excluding salt, into a microwave safe dish. Microwave mixture on high for 1 minute, stir well after 30 seconds.
  • When mixture has been heated and corn has popped, drizzle ⅓ of the mixture over the popped corn. Mix by gently stirring and fluffing with a spatula or wooden spoon, use clean hands if that is easier. Add remaining mixture ⅓ at a time fluffing kernels to coat.
  • Once the kernels have been coated turn everything out on to the prepared baking sheet. Spread the kernels into an even layer and sprinkle with half of the salt.
  • Bake for 5 minutes. Remove popcorn from the oven. Fluff kernels gently to mix them up a little. Sprinkle with remaining salt and return to the oven for 5 more minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and gently fluff the popcorn as it cools to keep the pieces from sticking to each other.
  • Store cooled popcorn in an air tight container for 1 to 2 days.
  • Sugar and Spice Popcorn should keep for 1 -2 days - if it isn't all eaten within 15 minutes!
