Ingredients

Popcorn

2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
1/3 cup popcorn kernels

Honey Butter

2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
2 tablespoons honey
1 ½ teaspoons Tabasco sauce
A pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

Make the popcorn

In a 3-quart (or larger) pot over medium-high heat, melt the coconut oil. Add the Tabasco sauce when the coconut oil is simmering.
Add a few kernels of popcorn to the oil, and cover the pot, moving over the heat constantly, until the popcorn pops.
When the initial kernels have popped, add the other kernels and cover. Continue the shaking movement of the pot over the heat until the kernels begin popping.
When the popping slows down, remove from the heat, but continue moving until all the pops are finished.
Let cool slightly off the heat as you make the Honey Butter.

Make the Honey Butter

Stir the melted butter, honey and Tabasco sauce together in a small bowl while the popcorn is cooling. Add the pinch of salt, and stir until smooth.

Finish the Popcorn

Drizzle the Honey Butter over the popped kernels, tossing slightly until all the popcorn is coated in the glaze.
Enjoy immediately!
