Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Pop 8 cups of popcorn using your preferred method. Place the popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl and set aside.

  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butterscotch morsels and unsalted butter over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth and well combined, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Add salt to the butterscotch mixture and mix well. If using, fold in chopped pecans until evenly distributed.

  4. Lightly coat the popcorn in the mixing bowl with cooking spray and toss gently to coat all kernels.

  5. Pour the melted butterscotch mixture over the popcorn and fold gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until all popcorn is evenly coated.

  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the coated popcorn in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring kernels are not clumped together.

  7. Let the popcorn sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the butterscotch coating to set and harden slightly.

  8. Break the popcorn into clusters or bite-sized pieces and serve.
