About the Recipe

When my brother and I were kids, my mom would occasionally make us a special breakfast treat, Cinnamon Toast! This popcorn reminds me of that buttery, sweet treat!

Ingredients

  • 8 - 10 cups popped popcorn 

    • Microwave or self-popped recommended! It needs to be warm!

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (½ stick), melted 

  • ¼ cup granulated white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (or to taste)

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • Optional: a pinch of nutmeg, cardamom and/or allspice

Preparation

Step 1


Pour the popped, warm popcorn in a large bowl.


Step 2


Carefully remove any unpopped kernels (they may be hot!).


Step 3


In a small bowl, mix the sugar, salt, and cinnamon (spices) until blended.


Step 4


Drizzle the popcorn with butter. Sprinkle the buttered popcorn with the cinnamon-sugar mixture and toss gently. 


Caution: If the butter is too hot (boiling) it will wilt the popcorn and make it soggy!


Step 5


This popcorn is not designed to be stored, and therefore we recommend enjoying it immediately after making it!


Step 6


Be generous with the napkins!
