Spiced Popcorn Balls

 

8 cups of air popped popcorn

1 c. toasted sliced almonds

1/2 c. butter or Smart Balance Light Spread(we used this)

1/2 c. honey or maple syrup

1 Tbsp. orange extract

1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl mix together the popcorn and

almonds. Set aside. Melt the butter/smart balance in a small pot. Add the

honey or maple syrup, orange extract and spices. Boil gently over medium heat,

stirring for 1 minute. Drizzle over the popcorn mixture and stir well.

 

Spray a large jelly roll pan and spread out the popcorn mixture over it. Bake

15 - 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. When crispy, remove from oven. With

gloved hands, shape the hot mixture into 12 balls. Cool throughly. Wrap in

plastic wrap until serving time.
