Step 1

Place the oil and 4 popcorn kernels in a heavy bottom saucepan, cover the pan, and place it over medium heat

Step 2

Once the kernels have popped, pour in the remaining kernels, cover the pan, and immediately lift off of the heat.

Step 3

Count to 30 and then return the pan to the stovetop tipping the lid slightly to let steam escape. Heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until the popping slows to about one pop every few seconds.

Step 4

Measure out 4 cups of popcorn and place in a large bowl with the oats, almonds, and cherries

Step 5

In small saucepan, heat the honey with syrup and sugar over medium-low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the almond butter, orange zest, cardamom, and salt.

Step 6

Line an 8 x 8-inch square baking pan with wax or parchment paper, leaving about 1-inch overhang Place the popcorn mixture into the pan and, using damp fingers, press down firmly. Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to harden

Step 7

Using the paper overhang, lift the popcorn mixture out of the pan and slice into 9 squares.
