- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Drizzle the warm maple glaze over the popcorn and toss gently until evenly coated.
- Spread on the baking sheet and bake 15–20 minutes, stirring once halfway, until the glaze sets and turns lightly crisp.
- Cool completely, break into clusters and serve. Sweet Canadian goodness!
