Popcorn is awesome, but Coconut Popcorn? Even more awesome. You get that irresistible salty sweet sensation that is to-die-for delicious. Here’s how you make it.

What You Need: Popped popcorn, butter, sugar, coconut extract and shredded coconut.

Step One: In a small saucepan, melt butter. Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Bring to a boil, and let boil 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and add coconut extract.
