Maple bacon popcorn.
No-no-no-no-no-no. Apparently you don’t understand.
Maple. Bacon. Popcorn. Men have proposed to me for less.
This recipe is pretty easy.
How to make Maple Bacon Popcorn:
4-5 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped. Reserve the fat.
1/2 cup popping corn
2 tablespoons maple syrup
3 tablespoons sugar
salt to taste
Pour the reserved bacon grease into a pan.
Set heat on high.
Add popping corn to pot.
Sprinkle 1 Tablespoon of sugar and some of the salt onto the kernels.
Place lid on pot.
Mix maple syrup and bacon together.
Shake covered pot repeatedly during popping process. Use a towel or oven mitts to help hold lid on. You don’t want to burn yourself and hot sugar sticks like crazytown.
Once popping has slowed, remove from heat.
Mix in maple syrup/bacon mixture.
Enjoy!

Maybe the extra sugar is for the coffee to go with?
Did go check on her site and it has the same ingredient list and instructions. Still, sounds wonderful, delicious, and addictive! Sprinkle the sugar on top after mixing?
Larissa! Help us out here!!
The mystery continues… 😉

Sorry about the delay! I can’t login at work, and there was sero free time last night.
The leftover sugar is to sprinkle over the popcorn once the popcorn and bacon are mixed. You dont really need it, but it adds a bit of texture and can absorb the extra syrup. Makes things a bit less sticky.
