Cinnamon Toast Popcorn
Cinnamon Toast Popcorn is a twist on a classic breakfast treat. Crunchy popcorn, yummy melted butter, and delicious cinnamon sugar combine into a new classic!
When Nancy and I were kids, on very special Saturdays, our Mom would make us Cinnamon Toast. Crunchy toasted covered in melted butter and sprinkled with delicious cinnamon sugar. Yum, yum, yum. We took that classic, replaced the toast with popcorn and voilla … Cinnamon Toast Popcorn. How does it taste? True story. Our family ate so much of our test batch that we had to make a second batch so we could take these pictures. Super yummy. Thanks Mom!
Preparing the Cinnamon Sugar
Step 1: This is our Cinnamon Sugar. We used 1/4 cup of sugar and then added 1 heaping tablespoon of cinnamon and mixed it together. We did not use all of this Cinnamon Sugar on our Cinnamon Toast Popcorn – we save about half of this to use on future pieces of Cinnamon Toast.
Preparing the Popcorn
Step 2: You will need 10 cups of popcorn. We pop our popcorn on the stove (you can find our directions on How to Make Perfect Popcorn here) but you can use air-popped or microwave.
Step 3: After the popcorn is popped, make sure to remove all of the un-popped kernels. You don’t want to bite down on one of those!
Step 4: Once you have made the popcorn, salt it liberally. It is so nice to taste the salty popcorn with the sweet marshmallow coating. Not quite like Kettle Corn but close.
Making the Popcorn
Step 5: Melt butter in a small saucepan. We used 4 tablespoons of butter for our 10 cups of popcorn. You should adjust to taste. Slowly drizzle the button onto the popcorn and stir as you go. You’ll want to lightly cover the popcorn.
Step 6: Sprinkle the buttered popcorn with the Cinnamon Sugar and stir. Continue adding the Cinnamon Sugar until it is covered to your liking.
Step 7: Now pour the popcorn onto a cookie sheet covered with foil or a silpat liner. Beware of popcorn pilferers!!
Step 8: Allow the Celebration Popcorn to cool. Break apart into pieces and serve.
