Friday's are what we call Family Fun Day, for school we play games, go on field trips, do service projects or some sort of activity together. In the evening we always have a family movie night and what is a movie without some sort of treat or snack, tonight it looks like Peanut Butter and Honey Popcorn Balls. These our one of favorite treats and I always have many helpers - air poppers are so fun!
The Recipe
1 batch of air popped corn (about 10 cups)
3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 Tbsp. coconut oil
1/2 tsp. Real salt
2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 Tbsp. coconut oil
1/2 tsp. Real salt
2 tsp. vanilla
 |  |
Using an air popper, pop one batch of popcorn - which is 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels.
 |  |
Mix the peanut butter, honey, coconut oil and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil on med-high heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Sadly, this does kill the medicinal properties of the honey, but is a must to make the mixture "caramelize".

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour over the popcorn and stir until completely coated. Form into balls or eat it straight from your bowl.
