Helpful Tips

• If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the honey mustard mixture.
• To save on prep time, use bags of pre-popped, unsalted popcorn.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week to maintain freshness.
• If you don’t have honey-roasted peanuts, regular roasted or even plain peanuts work well.
