# What You'll Need:
→ Popcorn
01 - 6 cups freshly popped popcorn (approximately 1/4 cup unpopped kernels or one microwavable plain/lightly salted bag)
→ Coating
02 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
03 - 1/3 cup light corn syrup or honey
04 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
05 - 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
06 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Topping
07 - 2 tablespoons red sprinkles
08 - 2 tablespoons green sprinkles
# How to Make It:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
02 - Place freshly popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl, removing any unpopped kernels for safety.
03 - In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in corn syrup, sugar, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil while stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves, approximately 2 minutes.
04 - Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in pure vanilla extract.
05 - Immediately pour the hot mixture over the popcorn. Using a silicone spatula, gently toss to coat popcorn evenly.
06 - Quickly scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of the coated popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping into small piles or clusters, as the mixture sets rapidly.
07 - While the coating is still sticky, generously sprinkle red and green sprinkles over each popcorn pile.
08 - Allow the popcorn piles to cool and set for 10 minutes before serving.
