Ingredients

• Popcorn kernels - 1/2 cup
• Bacon - 4 slices
• Pure maple syrup - 2 tablespoons
• Butter - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pot and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
2. Leave about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the pot, and add the butter. Once melted, add the popcorn kernels and cover the pot with a lid.
3. Shake the pot occasionally to ensure even popping. Once the popping slows down, remove the pot from heat and let it sit for a minute.
4. While the popcorn is resting, chop the cooked bacon into small pieces.
5. In a bowl, drizzle the maple syrup over the popped popcorn and toss to coat evenly.
6. Add the chopped bacon and salt to the popcorn, and toss again until well mixed.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Maple Bacon Popcorn!
