Make Cinnamon Popcorn

Drizzle melted cinnamon candy over popcorn for a sweet, spicy treat


Cinnamon popcorn is a tasty treat that can be enjoyed during the holidays, or anytime you have a craving for sweet, salty and spicy. Cinnamon popcorn is made using cinnamon-flavored candy, and can be eaten in individual pieces, or rolled into popcorn balls for a fun treat.


Instructions


1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Place the bags of popcorn in the microwave, following package directions. Pay attention as the popcorn is popping; when the popping begins to slow to about three to four seconds between pops, remove the popcorn from the microwave and set it aside.


2. Measure the ½ cup of butter, 2 tbsp. of corn syrup, and bag of cinnamon candy in a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan. Heat the mixture until it melts completely, stirring it frequently during the process.


3. Spread the microwave popcorn onto a baking sheet in one even layer. Drizzle the melted mixture of cinnamon candy, butter and corn syrup over the popcorn, covering it completely.


4. Place the popcorn in the oven for 30 minutes to one hour, stirring it every 15 minutes to make sure it is evenly heated. This will help eliminate the stickiness of the cinnamon mixture and give the popcorn a crunchy texture.
