As a toddler mom, I’m always up really late working on the blog. When that clock hits 12 am, I usually have some strange craving for something sweet. I typically opt for a big bowl of sugary cereals to keep me going. Well, those late night bowls of cereal are catching up to me. Fast. So I’ve had to cut back, but that doesn’t make the craving go away. One of my favorite snacks is popcorn. Homemade is even better. Which is why I was so excited when Hamilton Beach sent me their Hot Air Popcorn Popper to review on the blog. Today I’m sharing a recent sweet popcorn recipe that I made using my popcorn machine. Keep reading because two lucky readers will get the chance to win their very own Hot Air Popcorn Popper Machine.
Perfect Popcorn Recipe For When You’re Craving Something Sweet
This post is in collab with Hamilton Beach Canada and my good friend Lisa from Fabulous Habits.
Demo probably has a bigger sweet tooth than I do, but every so often, I get a craving for something sweet. Like NOW! Which is why I LOVE my new Hamilton Beach Hot Air Popcorn Popper machine. In just a few minutes I can make myself a delicious and “healthy-ish” snack to appease my sweet tooth.
The Hot Air Popcorn Popper is SO easy to use. Just add the kernels in the popping chamber using the measuring cup/butter melter. If you want butter, add some to the same measuring cup and cover the machine chute. Then place a big bowl under the chute, plug in the machine and watch the magic happen. In no time you will have some delicious hot popcorn BEGGING to be eaten. Below are some of the toppings I added in my recent popcorn recipe
