The holiday season is one of those times when my family goes NUTS with the baking! My mother's holiday cookies are extravagant, magazine worthy, and most of all delicious! I find myself frequently reaching for a treat, not because I'm hungry but simply because they are visible and convenient! I LOVE my mother's butter tarts and cannot wait until she makes them, but I also wanted to find a recipe that was a healthier option to add to those get togethers, or just for a cozy Friday night around the fire! If you find that you are a "picker", this is the perfect healthy treat for you!
Clean Eating Caramel Corn
Recipe:
8-10 cups air popped popcorn
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup all natural peanut butter
dash of salt
4 ingredients, 4 minutes and you have a delicious caramel corn that is fit to sit on any holiday dessert table! In a saucepan bring honey to boil over medium heat. Boil until the honey starts to bubble and climbs 1 inch up the side of the pan (not long). Remove from heat and add the peanut butter. In a large bowl, pour peanut butter mixture over popcorn and stir with a spoon until evenly distributed. I like to sprinkle on a little sea salt at this point. Don't use hands as mixture can burn!
Spread the popcorn on a cookie sheet to cool. Don't forget to sample as you go ;)
Store in an air tight container, or in a festive tin like this one!
Merry Christmas!
