Ingredients

1/2 cup popcorn kernels
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

Pop the Popcorn: In a large pot, heat the popcorn kernels over medium heat until they pop. Alternatively, use an air popper for a healthier option.
Prepare the Glaze: In a saucepan, combine the maple syrup and butter. Heat over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture begins to boil. Stir constantly for about 2-3 minutes.
Add Baking Soda: Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully stir in the baking soda. The mixture will bubble up.
Combine: Pour the maple glaze over the popped popcorn in a large bowl. Stir well to coat the popcorn evenly.
Season: Sprinkle salt over the coated popcorn and mix again. If using, add chopped nuts or chocolate chips at this stage.
Cool and Serve: Spread the glazed popcorn on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool. Once set, break into pieces and serve.
