Heat oil in a large saucepan on a medium heat and add popcorn and cover. Cook until kernels all pop, shaking frequently, for about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
In another pan, melt the butter and add in the honey. Bring to the boil and boil for a few minutes.
Pour this over the popcorn and coat.
Spread mixture evenly onto prepared baking sheet. Place in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, gently stirring popcorn every 5 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool until just able to handle. If a small child is helping please make sure it's not too hot for them! Using hands, shape popcorn mixture into popcorn balls. Try and leave behind any un-popped kernels as they are horrible to bite into.
Notes
These popcorn balls can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, just make sure the environment does not get too hot or damp.
