\"Sticky<\/p>\n

I\u2019m back! Sorry it\u2019s been a few days\u2026there was a lot of traveling involved with this weekend\u2019s concerts, and things took a little longer than expected. But I\u2019m here now\u2026bringing you a new favourite of mine.<\/p>\n

Sticky Date Popcorn\u2026<\/p>\n

It\u2019s reminiscent of caramel popcorn with the benefit of it not turning hard, which I\u2019m not crazy about. I like warm, sweet, sticky, gooey \u00a0popcorn and this fits the bill perfectly\u2026AND it\u2019s healthy.<\/p>\n

Sticky Date Popcorn<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. 7-9 cups of popped corn (fresh)<\/li>\n
  2. 6 Medjool dates<\/li>\n
  3. 1\/3 cup raw honey<\/li>\n
  4. \u00bc cup grapeseed oil<\/li>\n
  5. 1 tsp. pure vanilla<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Start by soaking the dates for an hour or so.<\/p>\n

    \"Sticky<\/p>\n

    In a saucepan, melt the honey and combine the oil and vanilla with it. In the blender, add the dates (don\u2019t forget to remove pits!) and the sauce mixture and blend until super smooth.<\/p>\n

    \"Sticky<\/p>\n

    Pour onto popcorn.<\/p>\n

    \"Sticky<\/p>\n

    Stir with a wooden spoon until mixed well.<\/p>\n

    \"Sticky<\/p>\n

    And then you are free to devour! ( \u2026I haven\u2019t had breakfast yet, so now I\u2019m craving sweet popcorn for my morning meal\u2026maybe I can delay this craving till later. Maybe.) Kids just love this recipe…my nieces especially, can’t stop eating it…this is just a great alternative to kids eating the caramel stuff.<\/p>\n
