Place freshly popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl.

In a small microwavable or stovetop bowl, melt the butter and honey together until smooth.

Stir in smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and garlic powder.

Drizzle the hot honey mixture over the popcorn.

Stir immediately and thoroughly to coat the popcorn evenly.

Serve fresh, or let it cool completely before storing.

Use a large bowl to make mixing easier and minimize mess.

Stir quickly while the honey sauce is still warm for even coating.

Let popcorn cool before storing to prevent sogginess.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days.
